<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>To give hope in uncertain times, this issue of <i>Plough</i> profiles people who have lived courageously.</b> <p/>In unsettling times such as these, being told to "take courage" can sound like a grim joke. Yet courage is precisely what we're in need of today: courage to stand by the truth, and courage to stand by the gospel's claim that everyone belongs to God, because Jesus has overcome the world. To inspire such courage - and to guard against a failure of nerve or of imagination - this issue of <i>Plough</i> highlights people who have lived courageously. <p/>In this issue: <br>- Chinese dissident Yu Jie looks at the challenges facing the church in China.<br>- Cuban pastor Raúl Suárez reveals how encounters with Christians thawed Fidel Castro's atheism.<br>- <i>Plough</i> pays tribute to NYPD Det. Steven McDonald, who forgave the young shooter who paralyzed him.<br>- Maureen Swinger tells how a young man with severe disabilities became an exceptional teacher.<br>- Evangelical activist D. L. Mayfield finds an unsettling role model in Dorothy Day.<br>- Comic artist Julian Peters illustrates T. S. Eliot's poem "Little Gidding." <p/>Plus: <br>- Insights on courage from Teresa of Avila, George Bernard Shaw, Meister Eckhart, and Mother Teresa<br>- Original poetry by Christopher Zimmerman<br>- Reviews of Martin Scorsese's <i>Silence, </i> Mark Sundeen's <i>The Unsettlers, </i> and Craig Greenfield's <i>Subversive Jesus</i><br>- Profiles of Thomas Müntzer, Traudl Wallbrecher, and the Sisters of Life<br>- Art and photography by Nikolay Ge, Boris Ivanovich Kopylov, Taisia Afonina, Wayne Forte, Dave Beckerman, Luca Sartoni, Wu Guanzhong, and Sadao Watanabe <p/><i>Plough Quarterly</i> features stories, ideas, and culture for people eager to put their faith into action. Each issue brings you in-depth articles, interviews, poetry, book reviews, and art to help you put Jesus' message into practice and find common cause with others.
