From the Authors

George McGovern, Bob Dole and Donald E. Messer are convinced that when persons of faith "raise the roof" on this issue our government and the private sector will respond and we will END HUNGER NOW!


"Ending hunger is a greater moral imperative now than ever before, because for the first time humanity has the instruments in hand to defeat this cruel enemy at a reasonable cost. We CAN end hunger now!"
—George McGovern
"Widespread hunger is one of the contributing factors that leads to discontent and creates an environment that is conducive to terrorism. To have a peaceful world we MUST end hunger now!"
—Bob Dole
"Feeding the hungry has always has been at the heart of Christian faith and ethics, as well as every other major religious and ethical system.

This book is designed to motivate laity and clergy in local congregations of every faith to become partners in God's mission and ministry of combating global hunger. Its intent is to stimulate persons of faith to explore and debate these issues and then become actively engaged both spiritually and politically in combating world hunger."
—Donald E. Messer,
