Decent, fair-minded persons like us benefit by demanding cheap goods and produce, which simultaneously drives jobs overseas where no labor regulations exist, and near-slave labor conditions are prevalent, Kim says.

book3This is my third book. Each book was a struggle to write.  In my struggle, this short book on globalization, ecology and sustainability has become very important to me. Now that this book will be released later this month, I am very excited about how it will contribute to such a growing literature of eco-justice and Spirit.

This is such a crucial topic for our time as it affects our livelihood, flourishing and our future existence on this planet earth. I hope that you will also be as passionate about taking care of each other and the earth.  I hope to hear some feedback on my book from you all. Continue reading →

This is a repost of my blog on Feminist Studies in Religion.

Some people are born to write.photo-writing

Their words seem to flow out of their minds and land so beautifully on their laptop screens.
