Author Jamie Price knew Shriver personally and served as the Founding Director of several programs dedicated to understanding and advancing Shriver's approach to leadership and peacebuilding. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003eThe Call\u003c\/em\u003e is an imagined dialogue between Sargent Shriver and the character of Didymus about the role of the spirit in Shriver's efforts to build peace. Its title alludes to the pivotal moment when Shriver received the phone call from his brother-in-law, the newly-inaugurated President John F. Kennedy, asking him to be Director of the as-yet-nonexistent Peace Corps. This \"true conversation that never happened\", informed by Shriver's hundreds of speeches, philosophers and theologians who inspired him, and conversations between Shriver and the author, is an intimate, unique, often funny exchange about the inner workings of a mind always questioning the relationship between spirit and social action. A must-read for aspiring leaders, innovators, and peacebuilders seeking to redress contemporary challenges to human dignity and security, \u003cem\u003eThe Call\u003c\/em\u003e invites readers to navigate conflict and nurture human connection with creativity and compassion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 336\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.75 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 21, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47510183969021,"sku":"9798987272602","price":33.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/3414\/0157\/files\/NjlZL2xxY1RhdHkwdkNVQW92WG5jUT09.webp?v=1778169164","url":"https:\/\/booktolia.com\/products\/the-call-the-spiritual-realism-of-sargent-shriver-paperback","provider":"booktolia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
