Wanda Callahan, a 'sister' or member in the Church of the Brethren, has never been one to wait for events to shape her. Rather, she has proactively sought to change her world. Thus Callahan has spent a lifetime as activist in many areas. In pithy, direct style, she addresses 12 such areas including advocacy for the poor, for women in leadership, and for prisoners on death row. Callahan'S advocacy has often generated 'Yes, but. . . .' in response. Her passion in this book may stir more 'Yes, buts'--and should also generate discussion, fresh thought, and even sometimes advocacy to match hers.
