4.0

This has become my new favorite book. The only reason why I'm not giving exceptional rating is because I listened to the audio book which only had two readers. I think I would have LOVED this if the original authors read their respective letters instead. Still a much needed salve in a time of distress. So so so many quotable sections. I now want to go out and get this as gifts for so many distraught and tired friends. Radical Hope is a book for the time of now. A book to engage in and receive nourishment. Some of my favorite authors and thinkers write letters of hope following the election of the corrupt 45. Wonderful.
