Advance Praise
A few brief excerpts from initial reviews. (See www.hopeandthe future.com for full reviews and sources.)
“Must reading for understanding and contributing to our times.”
“Challenging, thought provoking, and incredibly important. I wish there was a way to make this required reading for anyone seeking or holding a position of leadership…including teachers and parents. The worlds problems can seem desperately overwhelming, but taken bit by bit and piece by piece as presented in this book there IS hope, and it is vital we keep it alive and thriving.”
“A monumental contribution. Dr. Johnston has done a masterful job of outlining, in plain language, the critical issues of our times and the skill and sensibilities required of us to successfully face the challenges ahead. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is seriously concerned about the future of humanity and the planet and is seeking realistic hope and guidance in these complex times.”
“This may be one of the most important books of the 21st Century.”
