He argues that the same prophetic responses are urgently required from us now if we are to escape the deathliness of denial and despair. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBrueggemann's \u003ci\u003eReality, Grief, Hope\u003c\/i\u003e boldly confronts the dominant forces of our time, taking on principalities and powers that vie for our souls, and calls the church to courageous action.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Walter Brueggemann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e William B.
