IMAGINE What America Could Be in the 21st Century

Through essays contributed by 14 visionary leaders in their fields, the editor presents some powerful answers to the question of how to turn around the world mess our institutions and declining cultural values have created since the Industrial Revolution. The exceptional group of experts are all moral activists in their fields and, as a group, believe that a groundswell of spiritually based engagement will rescue our faltering society before it is too late. Though such a collection of ideas risks being too intellectual, it isn't in this instance because of the unifying spiritual focus and the editor's compassionate sensibilities, which come through nicely in her reading.
