"Lois Wilson, the first woman to be elected Moderator of the United Church of Canada, has travelled widely to see for herself the world's struggle for justice and righteousness. She is uniquely qualified to comment on today's world. Her comments, based on her travel diary and written without abstract theorizing, are short, startling, compelling and deepling moving. Read them for personal information and awareness, use them as devotional readings for groups, or choose excerpts for sermon illustrations. "Like a mighty river" is a book to change the church's perception of the world. "--Back cover
