Originally published in 1998, Soul of a Citizen: Living With Conviction in Challenging Times by Paul Loeb has recently been re-released in a new, revised edition to speak to the new challenges facing our times. With over 100,000 copies already in print, Soul of a Citizen has become required reading for anyone who wants to have a positive impact on their world. From budding social activists to veteran organizers, the message of changing the world through building communities and fostering forgiveness has helped forge a generation and is now moving into the next.
