The Irresistible Revolution - living as an ordinary radical
This book by Shane Claiborne, one of the founders of The Simple Way, is taking nonprofit work to a new level. The Simple Way is a monastic community that takes a grassroots stand on changing their Philadelphia community.
Claiborne’s book titled “The Irresistible Revolution” changed the way I view nonprofit work. His desire to change the hearts of people, rather than just their economic situation, called me to a higher level of service.
I recommend this book for all faith-based nonprofit workers reaching for a higher purpose in their work. Let me warn you though: this book targets those willing to reach the dregs of society.
