Button Reflections

This is a book of buttons from a revolutionary, dramatic period of accelerated social change, the last half of the Twentieth Century. Interspersed with movements and causes are chapters about ordinary life in motion. The author takes us on a journey toward human rights, justice, and peace, connecting past and present as they move into the future. The book takes us from a small town in Pennsylvania, to Boston, to the Middle East. Reflections are written from the faith perspective of a Presbyterian minister deeply engaged in and influenced by ecumenical and interfaith ties. For those who lived through this period, this book will bring back memories. For those too young to remember, this book will give you insight into your past. For both young and old, Keplers writing urges us to recognize the life and work of all those who believed in human rights and just peace as we design the future. She also invites us to celebrate just plain life in all of its variety and wonder.
