  How do we keep working for change in these difficult times, and overcome our political demoralization and frustration?  With over a hundred thousand copies in print, Paul Loeb’s Soul of a Citizen has become a classic handbook for budding activists, veteran organizers, and anyone who wants to make their voices heard and actions count. It’s inspired thousands of citizens as an antidote to powerlessness and despair. Eleven years after its original publication, Loeb delivers a wholly updated new edition addressing the challenges and opportunities of our very different time.  Howard Zinn called it “Rich, engaging, clearly written. An essential book for anyone who wants to work for change.”  Alice Walker writes, "The voices Loeb finds demonstrate that courage can be another name for love."    “I stayed up half the night reading Soul of a Citizen,” writes Jonathan Kozol, finding it a beautiful and morally transcendent work. “The new edition is magnificent.” Habitat for Humanity founder Millard Fuller concludes “Paul Loeb brings hope for a better world in a time when we so urgently need it. “  Bill McKibben comments “Soul has been a powerful inspiration to citizens acting for environmental sanity, showing how they can take committed stands, even if they don’t know every last answer. The new edition is even more inspirational.”  And Bill Moyers writes, of Paul’s The Impossible Will Take a Little While, “This book can even make one hopeful about the future despite so many signs to the contrary."    Vist Paul Loeb here.
