From Broadway to the movies, we've been spellbound by "Wicked" for 20 years. We've sung along, we've laughed, cried, and felt empowered to defy the gravity of those who'd keep us down! ...But is there more to it? Drawing on the pioneering work of Rene Girard, writer and philanthropist Suzanne Ross shows us just how thoroughly this musical turns the world of Oz on its head, helping us see the conniving Wizards and misunderstood witches in our own midst. The story of these rival witches can teach us about the divide between good and evil—and how quickly (and wrongly) we identify ourselves as "good" at the expense of others. The result is a book that translates all the fun of the musical into a deeper key, seeing it as a story about learning to live without violence. Using the tools in this book, you can guide others—and yourself—to the "wicked truth" that none of us is really good...But we can all be changed for good. Inside, you'll find reflection questions and examples from the musical, popular culture, modern politics, and grassroots peacebuilders that can help you work through tough conversations on good and evil in your own community. Reading groups can also use the included study guide information and concise "Living the Wicked Truth" guide.
