This isn't a book.
This is a pilgrimage.
Pilgrimage takes us outside our expected patterns
and into something immediately more
challenging and dynamic. It's on pilgrimage
that our souls begin a journey that takes
us up mountain passes and brings us down
transformed.
This pilgrimage of Unnoticed Neighbors
seeks to do the same so we can taste and
see what's around us and meet the different
people with whom we share this world-a
world that is both beautiful and ugly.
You'll meet women from northern Uganda
who are AIDS and civil war survivors and
Burmese refugees living down the street in
U.S. neighborhoods. You'll uncover why the
poor remain poor, despite aid and charity.
You'll see the saving grace of education and
the real protection it gives to some from
the most brutal injustices. You'll go behind
and into the human trafficking underworld
and perhaps you'll see your neighbor--from
across the street or across the world--for the
first time.
