from the Religious Right. Just came out in Feb. Talks about *our* values in a counterpoint discussion to the twisted angry punitive religious right. The book sets out the platform for this relatively new, growing movement being championed by the Network of Spiritual Progressives, who are also having their 1st national Conference on Spiritual Activism in DC this May.

I saw him speak recently and as of last week I'm volunteering to help get this movement noticed. Cindy Sheehan, Richard Gere, Gandhi's grandson, many others are already on board.

Looking (and grateful!) for anyone who's interested in helping in any way.

Watch Vid of Michael Lerner; Reviews of The Left Hand of God
http://www.freespeech.org/fscm2/contentvie...

"The blueprint for the next stage in the spiritual development of our planet." Deepak Chopra

"Michael Lerner is the most prophetic intellectual and spiritual leader of our generation. We ignore his wisdom at our peril!" Cornel West, author of Democracy Matters: Winning the Fight Against Imperialism

"An insightful, inspiring book by Rabbi Lerner that can put America back on track." Arun Gandhi, president, M.K. Gandhi Institute for Nonviolence and grandson of Mahatma Gandhi

"A social thinker with impeccable liberal credentials -- he's a Berkeley-based rabbi, sometime Hillary Rodham Clinton guru and the editor of Tikkun magazine ... The Left Hand of God ... serves the vital purpose of articulating a progressive religious alternative to the conservative flavor of religion that has dominated American politics and society for the past 30 years." Washington Post (Amy Sullivan)
