Supporting the Voices of WOR Alumni
Individual Weekend of Recovery Alumnus frequently send information about ways the WOR program has empowered them to expand their life and thrive. One example is the number of Alumni who are demonstrating their newly-acquired courage by publicly sharing their personal narratives. We allow each submission to stand on its own, without any additional review or commentary.
We welcome submissions from any WOR Alumni but cannot guarantee publication. Contact Us…
Waging Justice
Author: Dr. Paul Zeitz
Publication Date: September 1, 2017
Waging Justice is a personal memoir. In unflinching prose, Dr. Zeitz shares a lifetime of struggles and hard-won lessons as a doctor, activist, father, and son. His complex dance between healing others and healing himself ultimately transforms the inexplicable anger and disappointment he felt at the state of the world and his own past into full throttled, open-hearted, soul-satisfying action set on a global stage. Waging Justice is a personal story and also a universal one: a story of action, of courage, and of forgiveness; and a rallying cry to wage justice in our lives, speak the truth, be bold, and take action in the world today.
