Shane Claiborne was a young Methodist who grew up in the
Bible Belt, became a Jesus freak, and moved to Philadelphia despite his
family's misgivings, helping the homeless there. Then in his early twenties he
boldly requested an internship with Mother Teresa in Calcutta. She simply
responded, "Come."
Besides illuminating his own faith journey, Claiborne is
insightful on the huge U.S. cultural and economic divide: the problem isn't
that wealthy Christians don't care about the poor, he says, it's that they
simply don't know the poor.
