To Right Every Wrong: The Making and Unmaking of One Improbable Minor Prophet (Dave Andrews Legacy)

Dave Andrewss latest book To Right Every Wrong is the last in the Dave Andrews Legacy Series. It is a funny sad brutally honest retrospective reflecting on what it has meant for him and his family to seek to live a lifetime dedicated to love and justice. The reflections in this book subtitled The Making and Unmaking of One Improbable Minor Prophet come in three parts--the personal the prophetical and the paradoxical. The personal part explores Andrewss experience of the radical compassionate spirituality that he shares with wife Angie and which has shaped their way of life as a family in community with marginalized and disadvantaged groups of people. The prophetical part explores Andrewss embrace of the strange crazy improbable call he felt to be a prophet which he has sought to flesh out in classic prophetic roles--as an interrogator a protester a practitioner and an inspirator--in contemporary prophetic contexts characterized by poverty and violence. The paradoxical part explores Andrewss making and unmaking as a minor prophet critically constructing and deconstructing the more confrontational aspects of the prophetic roles he has played in order to be able to practice more sensitive pastoral care.
