I have read several books lately on this broad topic, but being a young mom myself I really appreciated your perspective. I often finished the other books and felt challenged and invigorated, but a little defeated because I was not in a similar life situation and felt like since I wasn't going to move into a a community house in the projects that I had nothing to offer. Reading your book gave me some new insights and some definite steps I can take to make a difference where God has me right right now. I appreciate your candor and honesty, and your encouragement to take it one step at a time. My husband is a writer too (Rookie Dad, Zondervan, 2007), and I know it is no easy task to write and parent small kids, so thanks. I continue to look forward to your blog posts, and plan on recommending your book to my friends. Also, our church is hosting a Justice Conference (thejusticeconference.com) in February with speakers such as Shane Claiborne and Lynn Hybels. The speaking slots are all filled (sadly for me, as I put your name in the mix too late in the game!) but I wanted you to at least know about it, as they are hoping to make it an annual event and there's always next year. :) Peace, Christine Julie,
