LOVE REVOLUTION

Joyce Meyer is not satisfied with the status quo. She believes that we each need to become a revolutionary and practice love every day. And if Joyce has her way the revolution will spread -- person by person house by house town by town until the old culture of selfishness and greed gives way to a new culture of concern for others. The book is a revolutionaries'' manual a hands-on primer for bringing the Golden Rule to life in the twenty-first century. Meyer starts out by giving some stunning statistics. Right now. . .210000 children will die this week because of poverty; 640 million children do not have adequate shelter; every day 3000 children are abducted into the sex-trafficking industry; every day 16000 children die from hunger-related causes. She goes on to say that although crisis is global the solution is local. We can''t solve the world''s problems but that isn''t a reason to remain idle. Love Revolution focuses on personal behavior on the local scale. It''s not just a call to action; it is a call to being: being the person who goes out of your way to encourage someone who''s out of hope; being the one who smiles at a stranger; being the one who is willing to do something for nothing. The paradox: when we do something for nothing what we often get is something far greater.
