How to
Achieve a Heaven on Earth
Edited
By: John E. Wade II
Whether
it’s finding spiritual harmony, reducing carbon emissions, quelling
hostilities among races, cutting taxes, or feeding the hungry, every single
person has the capacity to change the world for the better. Longtime New
Orleans writer, editor, and philanthropist John E. Wade II has asked some
of our most prestigious thinkers, writers, artists, experts, and leaders
to consider how to improve the world. The result––this ambitious
volume––is as much a social mission as it is an inspirational
anthology. Herein lie thoughtful and hopeful reflections on a rich variety
of issues, ranging from racism, poverty, religious persecution, genocide,
and environmental deterioration to individual consciousness, mental well-being,
and community development.
One hundred
contributions from such notable personalities as Al Gore, Tony Blair,
Nicholas Kristof, Thomas L. Friedman, and George W. Bush explore variations
on the themes of peace, security, freedom, democracy, prosperity, spiritual
and racial harmony, ecology, health, and moral purpose and meaning. Focusing
on the large problems of the world without losing sight of the little
challenges people face every day, this collection of essays encourages
readers to find meaning in their own lives and share it with others for
the betterment of the world. Religious and secular, liberal and conservative,
old and young, the luminaries who have contributed to this work offer
their voices and thoughts to inspire movement toward creating a more harmonious
world community.
