My admiration for Jimmy Carter’s accomplishments is nearly boundless.\u00a0 He’s a former US president who has dedicated his career to promoting justice internationally.\u00a0 His view of justice is informed by his strong religious beliefs, which is refreshing.\u00a0 Even as he holds to his Baptist faith and remains active in that church, he calls the church leaders to task when they make unjust decisions.\u00a0 I admire his drive, dedication, and pride.<\/p>\n
A Call To Action<\/em> brings those beliefs and experience to bear on the state of womens’ rights across the world.\u00a0 He is, as ever, unflinching in his assessment and optimistic in his outlook.<\/p>\n I do wish he wrote more dynamically.\u00a0 His analysis of the state of the world and underlying causes seems to be exhaustive and even-handed. He augments telling personal anecdotes with well-chosen and clearly presented statistics.\u00a0 He never shies away from a conclusion informed by his sense of justice, even when there is significant dissent on the matter.\u00a0 Even when that dissent is driven by personal friends or professional collaborators.<\/p>\n But, man, his text is dry.<\/p>\n The message is worth digging through it.<\/p>\n Recommended.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My admiration for Jimmy Carter’s accomplishments is nearly boundless.\u00a0 He’s a former US president who has dedicated his career to promoting justice internationally.\u00a0 His view of justice is informed by his strong religious beliefs, which is refreshing.\u00a0 Even as he holds to his Baptist faith and remains active in that church, he calls the church […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2368","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-reviews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lunabase.org\/~faber\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2368","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lunabase.org\/~faber\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lunabase.org\/~faber\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lunabase.org\/~faber\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lunabase.org\/~faber\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2368"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.lunabase.org\/~faber\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2368\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2369,"href":"https:\/\/www.lunabase.org\/~faber\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2368\/revisions\/2369"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lunabase.org\/~faber\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2368"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lunabase.org\/~faber\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2368"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lunabase.org\/~faber\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2368"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
