The Revolution: A Field Manual for Changing Your World, Edited by Heather Zydek,
last chapter by Cranford Joseph Coulter, owner of "Come and See" Icons, Books & Art

Book Summary:
A revolution is happening in our generation. We see the strife in the world as generations before ours could not—whether a terrorist attack or a tsunami, we watch the devastation of such tragedies play-by-play, and it moves us. But how do we apply our energy to alleviate the suffering of those around us? Especially when we’re busier than ever and less able to give of our time to serve just causes at home and around the globe?”
The Revolution will equip socially conscious twentysomethings to fight against the world’s top 10 most pressing social justice issues. Twelve narrative articles written by experts in their respective fields will inspire young adults to take action on local, national and international levels—using heavenly, God-ordained weapons of charity, love, peace and willful self-sacrifice to serve others. Using the richness of our talents (knowing that even though only God can eradicate all the world’s ills in His time) while we’re here on this earth, we can each fulfi ll His ultimate command to love and serve our neighbors.

That is the publisher's blurb. Although it was written and assembled with young adults in mind, I don't think it is that age specific. It is written with a positive, take action mindset. It is different from most socially conscious, Christian books that were aimed at me when I was twentysomething, however, in that, it is much more focused on producing action than on producing guilt. - CJC
