Written for the millennial generation, gathering the church around twelve key commitments to justice, sustainability, art, compassion, austerity, and a desire to make the world better by living out the love of Christ. We are on the crest of an epic shift in humanity. As Jeremy Rifkin writes, "The Age of Reason is being eclipsed by the Age of Empathy." The current millennial generation views the world as an extended family--increasingly interconnected through technology--and they live with a deep moral obligation to care for one another. In "The Barefoot Tribe," " "Palmer Chinchen issues a wake-up call to the church of today, highlighting this new wave of social justice leaders, who are not afraid to take action, take risks, and remake the world into one more like what Jesus had in mind.

Because with the power of the tribe..."we can make the world a better place."Read less
