The End of Hunger

Too often we think of The End of Hunger as something that would be nice but not likely to happen as it seems to be simply too big of a problem. We do our part by participating in fundraisers at church or school and buy goats as Christmas presents knowing full well that a year later, we'll do it all again. What if there The End of Hunger was truly possible and we're going about it all wrong? The End of Hunger: Renewed Hope for Feeding the World, recently published by IVP, shows that ending hunger truly is possible and needs to be at the top of your reading list.

The End of Hunger contains essays by top economists, politicians, doctors, and many others. As such, this is not a quick, easy, feel good read. It must be read slowly so that the reader can fully absorb the content. The statistics and facts shared lay out how extensive the problem of hunger is and how hunger and malnutrition are the root causes of so many other world issues such as human trafficking, war,immigration, orphans, and nearly everything else that comes to mind. Yet, these same chapters lay out how their truly is enough food in the world and there is enough money for the problem of hunger to be solved.

The End of Hunger needs to be read slowly and thoughtfully so that you can contemplate the content that is shared and act on it. It is a book that needs to be read with others in order to process effectively. Anyone who cares about hunger or involved in raising funds for hunger relief in the U.S.A. or the world needs to read this book. Be prepared to have your heart broken, be frustrated, and to write lots of letters to politicians. Although I received a free copy, this is a book I'm definitely going to purchase in a paper copy so I can refer to it often and share with others.
