“John Pavlovitz’s Worth Fighting For is a stirring playbook,” forewordreviews.com avows, “for Christians who strive to ensure that kindness triumphs over toxicity. …It simulates a motivational speech, stressing solidarity and the power of collective outrage.” “In the current fraught political climate, Pavlovitz addresses ways to remain true to the Christian faith,” The Wilderness Road agrees, “while reminding us of what is worth fighting for….” So, “when you read Pavlovitz,” ptownie.com adds, “you start to believe that, no matter how difficult, those things are actually possible.”
“This inspiring volume features Pavlovitz’s most important writing from the past several years,” The Wilderness Road’s reviewer mentions. As ptownie.com has it, “his flowing use of language…draws the reader in as though it were in fact a conversation.” But one that’s crusty: The Presbyterian Outlook points up “…the spirit and passion that simmers just below a boil in Worth Fighting For,” then adds, “[H]e lives in the tension between despair and hope.”
Known for his social and political writings—from a progressive Christian perspective—the author launched his daily blog, “Stuff that needs to be said,” which was deemed to be so “provocative” that it got him fired from the church he’d been pastoring.
