When I ask, 'Why are children hungry,' they call me a communist.' That's how Brazilian bishop Dom Helder Camara said it. Bringing change to the world is risky business. In Touching The Rainbow Ground visionary missionary and award-winning videographer Paul Weiss describes a journey in which he learned that his vision of feeding poor, hungry children alienated friends, family and, especially, those whose power and wealth maintain the system that keeps children hungry.The 8 Steps to Hope outlined in Touching The Rainbow Ground slowly became clear as he traveled from the affluence of his hometown of Santa Barbara to a leper colony in the Philippines to the Tijuana garbage dump and from the jungles of Guatemala to the ghettos of Washington, DC. Touching is a primer for students, ministers, teachers and nonprofit staff on how to make their dreams of creating a better world come true.
