What are the most important social, political and religious challenges facing our world today? How might a better understanding of those challenges help us to tackle them more effectively? And what are the basic moral principles that will inspire more people to come together and work together for the common good?

This stirring new book by Cardinal Nichols sets out a clear vision of what needs to be done in response to these challenges - enabling us to face them squarely, while also giving grounds for hope. At a time of political and social upheaval, here is a clear, calm and convincing reminder of the essential values that we all need to guide us into a better future. Includes chapters on hope, mission, sexual violence, slavery, prison reform and religious extremism.

Questions for group discussion or personal reflection at the end of each chapter.
