Many of us are honestly interested in leaving the world a better place - in helping those in need. The problem sometimes occurs that we either don’t know where to start, or that we don’t think we have anything to contribute, or that we don’t enough time or resources ourselves. Tony Campolo & Gordon Aeschliman’s new book, Everybody Wants to Change the World: Practical Ideas for Social Justice, gives simple, doable & innovative ways to reach out & make a difference in your community & in the world. Also, not everyone has the same passion. One person may be more interested in helping the elderly while another wishes to save the environment. The authors navigate through 10 different areas in which you can impact the world. These categories are:

• Poverty
• Care for Prisoners
• Evangelism
• Upholding the Oppressed
• Environmentalism
• Serving the Sick & Disabled
• Elderly Care
• Helping Immigrants
• Caring for people of all nations
• Ideas for Healthy Activism

Each area has anywhere from 4 to 14 different ideas for impact. At the end of each section, the authors list organizations which serve in those realms. They list contact information, if you would like to get more involved with their work. At the end of the book, there are 10 different discussion guides, one in each area, which leads the reader through God’s heart for social justice. This is an excellent resource & tool for any person desiring to impact their community &/or planet. There are 75 unique & creative ideas to use or further your thoughts on serving.
