An excerpt.

"Jesus is ready to set us free from the heavy yoke of an oppressive way of life. Plenty of wealthy Christians are suffocating from the weight of the American dream, heavily burdened by the lifeless toil and consumption we embrace. This is the yoke from which we are being set free. And as we are liberated from the yoke of global capitalism, our sisters and brothers in Guatemala, Liberia, Iraq, and Sri Lanka will also be liberated. Our family overseas, who are making our clothes, growing our food, pumping our oil, and assembling our electronics - they too need to be liberated from the empire's yoke of slavery. Their liberation is tangled up with our own. The new yoke isn't easy. (It's a cross, for heaven's sake.) But we carry it together, and it is good and leads us to rest, especially for the weariest traveller."
