NCLA Review -Exodus From Hunger is a significant, hopeful book by the president of Bread for the World, the world’s largest Christian anti-hunger organization. Rev. Dr. David Beckmann believes we can end world hunger in our lifetime primarily through political advocacy of faith communities. He states “it is impossible to food-bank our way to the end of hunger.” Funding from our U.S. government for relief programs and development projects has reduced hunger and poverty in the past and will do so again when we change the politics of hunger. He uses stories of success such as a small church group who simply wrote letters urging Congressional decision makers to end hunger, resulting in a major global aid reform bill. Citing over a hundred references from Exodus, Beckman argues that God is moving today to bring people out of hunger just as he brought the Hebrews out of slavery. A free study guide is available online. I highly recommend this important book for all church libraries. It will inspire our faith communities to allow God to use them through political activism to reduce hunger and poverty at home and abroad. Rating: 4 —BM ( )
