Hope for the Future: Answering God's Call to Justice for Our Children by Shannon Daley-Harris is a wonderful resource for activism for children. Members of the Pan-Methodist Campaign for Children in Poverty family will be able to use it to inspire congregational involvement and plan initiatives of compassion for children.

Inside this moving book, Shannon Daley-Harris draws from over twenty-five years of work with the Children's Defense Fund (CDF) to offer twelve meditations for those working to create a better world for our children. CDF has been a partner in the work of this Pan-Methodist Campaign since its inception. Each meditation of the book focuses on passages of Scripture and weaves together moving stories of children, startling statistics about the challenges facing youth, and inspiring examples from other movements and faithful leaders. Hope for the Future also includes a foreword by Marian Wright Edelman and questions for faithful response at the end of each meditation. The book can be used individually or in group study.
