Lift the Label: The Hidden Cost of Your Lifestyle [Paperback]

Readable, accessible, relevant and practical, this book has much to commend it.

Lift the Label is a wake up call to connect our faith in God with our everyday lifestyle 'choices'. It reveals the hidden faces, and tells the unheard stories of people we come into contact with everyday, without even realising it - the people who make our food and clothes! Written to inspire and empower, this book contains creative and practical ways to shop differently. It explains fair trade and provides a much needed directory of ethically minded shops, to help us have a positive impact on our global neighbours when we hit the street.The decisions we make with our money can have far reaching consequences.
