Follow Me to Freedom: Leading As an Ordinary Radical

Value:  $17       Starting bid:  $12

Autographed copy of Follow Me to Freedom by John Perkins and Shane Clayborne

Donated by:  Shane Clayborne, founder of The Simple Way in Kensington

John says it’s a book on leadership. Shane says it’s a book on followership. The truth is… it’s probably a little of both, and that’s exactly what we need. In an age of division over race, class, age, theology, and politics this book brings together an unlikely duo with a radical message of reconciliation. Their backgrounds are very different, but the future they invite us to imagine is exactly the same. Claiborne and Perkins harmonize their voices in this fresh, winsome, and insightful look at what it means to embody with our lives the gospel that we proclaim with our lips. Follow Me to Freedom is a call to lead—a life, a community, a revolution that moves the world a little closer to God’s dream.
