Radical Compassion

Description:

"Radical Compassion is the story of one good man's struggle to be radical, like his prairie heroes, and also compassionate in his response to the needs of others. Ted Scott fixed his energy on persons, while at the same time working fervently to raise the systemic issues of the poor and oppressed, the marginalized and weak." "The book is also a story of the turbulent times in which Scott lived - the Great Depression of the 1930s and the near-collapse of Western capitalism, the horror of World War II and the nuclear age, the 1960s with their optimistic belief that people together could change the world, and the 1970s and 1980s when market forces threatened both lands and livelihoods." "A seasoned journalist, Hugh McCullum draws on extensive interviews with Scott's friends, family, and critics, and on the millions of words written about him, to give us a lively picture of the man and his times."--BOOK JACKET.
