Rise of the Spiritual Activist connects faith with social justice and seeks to provide for the would-be activist a spiritual model for advocacy. Economic injustice, oppression, sexism, racism, homophobia, pollution of God's creation, and many other societal concerns will need to be addressed in today's arena of advocacy and protest, making Rise of the Spiritual Activist relevant for people of faith who want to repair the world. Márquez-Sterling provides the philosophical foundation for spiritual activism as well as interviews with spiritual activists in the field and a step-by-step guide on how to run a justice effort.
