One book I have been reading is Good News About Injustice by Gary Haugen. It contains some first person accounts of his work in things like investigating genocide in Rwanda and other work with the Justice Department. In addition, it is also a book that I would call "religious philosophy". He goes to great extent to answer questions like "why would a kind God allow ...?" and to also inspire you if you are like many who question whether one person can make a difference in this world.
In looking at the news each week, whether it is Iraq, Pakistan, Kenya, or an article about the homeless in your hometown paper, you might find safety in your distance from these issues. This book will bring those things closer to you in some ways, and make you think about what it means to live a moral life.
