This book is an illustrated guide to radical movements in Christian history. This book brings hope to everyone who longs to see their society reformed and renewed. The chapters show how society has been brought to life repeatedly through the centuries by dynamic movements and personalities. Francis of Assisi, Martin Luther, John Wesley -- these and others like them have made a deep and lasting impact on the world. A wide sweep of movements is covered. In time they range from the early monks to the charismatic Christians of today. In approach they vary from the orthodox to the highly radical. In place they move from the deserts of North Africa, through western Europe and North America, back again to the developing consciousness of Africa today. - Jacket flap.
