Summary

You Can Never Go Back is the memoir of Sally Timmel, partner and long-term co-collaborator of Anne Hope, founder, in South Africa, of the Gender Advocacy Programme and the Fair Share economic literacy programme, and co-founder, with Anne, of the Grail Conference and Retreat Centre and the influential international training programme Training for Transformation. A powerful insight into effective leadership, the book takes activists through the process of the evolution of critical consciousness, as understood by Brazilian educator, Paulo Freire. Interweaved with wisdom gleaned from decades of leadership experience and spiritual and theological learning, Sally shows how to start and build successful multinational faith movements and communities based on teamwork and spiritual strength.
