Travel the world, change lives, save souls. (Note: Results not
typical.) A young idealist heeds the call to radical obedience,
gives away all of his belongings and shaking off the fetters of a
complacent life, travels halfway around the world. There he
discovers, among the poor and the fatherless of West Africa, that
he has only surrendered to a new kind of captivity. There is no
doubt that young people today are fully invested in social and
human rights issues. They start their own nonprofits, they run
their own charities, they raise money for worthy causes. Books on
saving the world abound, topping the bestsellers' lists, fueling
the drive to prove not only commitment to the world but devotion to
God. Now there is a new crop of books starting to emerge, detailing
the consequences of trying to save a world that is not ours to
save. But none of these books tell the story thatRunaway Radical
tells; this is the first book to highlight the painful personal
consequences of the new radicalism, documenting in heartbreaking
detail what happens when a young person becomes entrapped instead
of liberated by its call. His radical resolve now shaken, he
returns home to rebuild his life and his faith. Runaway Radical
serves as an important and cautionary tale for all who lead and
participate in compassion activism, in the art of doing good- both
overseas and at home- amidst this new culture of radical Christian
service.
