“Kathleen Townsend is a woman of passion, integrity, and faith. Her Christian witness requires her to remember and act on Jesus’ repeated instructions to love our neighbors, care for the poor, and repair the breaches among us. She makes a compelling case for THE ALL-IN-ONE AUDIOBOOK those who share her faith to do the same.” —President William Jefferson Clinton For too long, religion has been a political plaything of the right wing in this country. American churches seem more concerned with what people do with their bodies than with their souls. Now, Kathleen Kennedy Townsend issues a spiritual call to arms to those who feel, like her, that today’s churches— Catholic and Protestant alike—are failing to promote the welfare of those who depend upon them. After recounting her personal story in one of the most prominent Catholic families in America, Townsend shows how America’s neediest are now forgotten while their churches fight political battles against abortion rights and homosexual marriages. She provides hope through powerful examples of individuals effecting change—from obscure social workers to The Purpose-Driven® Life’s Rick Warren—and maintains that our individual actions can return our churches to their traditional role as shepherds to their flocks. Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, the oldest of Robert and Ethel Kennedy’s eleven children, was lieutenant governor of Maryland from 1995 to 2003. She has published articles in the New York Times, the Washington Post, and Washington Monthly. She now works as an adjunct professor at Georgetown University’s School of Public Policy. Actor and voiceover artist Renée Raudman has performed on film, television, radio, and stage. Renée’s recent audiobooks include A Weekend to Change Your Life by Joan Anderson (Tantor), Don’t Look Down by Jennifer Cruise, Valiant by Holly Black, and Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk.
