For almost fifty years I have been working to help make this a more
just world. I have read many treatises and books. I have been
involved in political activity to try and create a more just world.
I have worked with many different and divergent groups. Only in the
last few months have I begun to hear that any successful endeavor
must include a strong spiritual element. This book is an attempt to
merge the two elements of social justice and our own spirituality
as humans. It begins by looking at the biblical accounts of
mankind's original sin and the consequences of that sin. Much of
the biblical accounts look at the reaction of God. This account
centers on the actions of mankind and their consequences. The focus
then shifts to some of the deeper consequences of human sin
portrayed as the footprints of Adam and Eve on this earth. (See
picture at the end of the book). The book ends with a poem written
by the author. He attempts to illustrate that we are redeemed from
original sin not by eliminating it but reaching out to those who
are the greatest victims of that sin. The book starts with a
prologue entitled "The Footprints of Adam and Eve." It then looks
at contemporary Footprints of Adam and Eve such as widespread
resistance to change, an ever increasing debt, the failure of
banks, a huge corporation which owns at least 5% of almost half of
the large corporations in the USA, the move to create more energy.
All these symptoms are caused by greed. The final chapter is
entitled "We Need A New Set of Footprints." It looks at some
alternatives that ordinary people are using today to help correct
our failures. The book ends with a poem composed by the author
entitled "Finding the Footprints of God." A concluding picture
shows the earth with human footprints on it and asks: "What
Footprints Are You Leaving on Earth?"
