Pat Hynes's understanding of the wide range of issues covered in HOPE, BUT DEMAND JUSTICE is guided not only by her scientific expertise and training as a researcher but also, and very importantly, by compassionate intelligence. Her empathic intelligence shines through whether the subject she writes about concerns the plight of violence-and poverty-battered families fleeing across national borders (including ours) or the unbelievably wasteful and extravagant use by the US government of its citizens' tax dollars for weapons and war or the plight of fire-ravaged forests and communities due to runaway global warming or the deep physical and psychological/moral scars suffered by military veterans of the US and other countries or the fate of women and girls everywhere who, she makes clear, always bear the heaviest brunt of poverty, violence, food scarcity, and sexual exploitation.

In Loving Life on the Margins: the Story of the Agape Community, the authors say they attempt to do what Jesus asked: "Interpret the present time" (Luke 12:56) through the lens of the past. The authors hope the reader of this book, will find in the Agape story something worthy of interpretation as a commentary on the lineage and future of small faith communities like ours.Over the years, the authors have been drawn to the image of God as the Divine Feminine, that God's heart and ungraspable power is Mother as well as Father. The authors have come to believe that the womb-love of God gives birth to voices joined in prayer and song, souls born into longing and pain, struggling to be reflections of what is possible in short time on this imperiled, glorious planet.

"In a remarkable feat of literary clairvoyance, Dorothy Johnson brings us the voices of the dead from the drowned Swift River Valley, conjuring up their lives and their vanished world-in epitaphs so vivid and so laconically graceful that for a moment each speaker stands before us, startling and true," says freelance journalist Anna Mundow. This is the author's homage to A Spoon River Anthology by Edgar Lee Masters. Illustrations and cover design by C. V. Smith.
