Better : waking up to who we could be Cover Image Book

Better : waking up to who we could be / Melvin Bray, foreword by Brittney Cooper.

Bray, Melvin , (author.). Cooper, Brittney, (author of introduction, etc.).

Summary:

"What if we could actually change the world by telling better stories? What if the world we have-with its racism, sexism, heterosexism, ableism, religious hatred, ecological disregard-is exactly the world we have spun into existence through the stories we have told? BETTER offers a spiritual path on which people-for whom life has called into question many of their assumptions about God and the world-can continue to hold onto their faith, while joining others of goodwill in seeking sustainable, cooperative, and courageous answers to the seemingly intractable problems of our time." --Back cover.
