Synopsis
“I am persuaded that the Church, as the steward of this gospel, holds the key to justice in our society. Either justice will come through us or it will not come at all.” John Perkins’s optimistic view of justice becoming a reality starts and ends with the Church. With Justice for All is Perkins’s invitation to live out the gospel in a way that brings good news to the poor and liberty to the oppressed (from Luke 4:18). This invitation is extended to every racial and ethnic group to be reconciled to one another, to work together to make our land all God wants it to be. And it is a blueprint—a practical strategy for the work of biblical justice in our time. In an age of changing demographics where the need to break the cycle of poverty is staring many of us in the face, Perkins offers hope through practical ministry principles—that work. This outstanding resource includes “Reflection” questions for personal or group study as well as “Interaction” sessions for groups to participate in activities together.

From the Back Cover
From the author of Let Justice Roll Down, chosen by Christianity Today as one of the top 50 books that have shaped evangelicals, come the 3 Rs of Christian Community Development brought up-to-date for the 21st century Relocation: To be an effective community developer demands relocating into the community of need. We must live among those we are serving. We must become one of them. Their needs must become our needs. Reconciliation: In an incredible night of horrors Perkins was beaten to within an inch of his life by policemen in Brandon, Mississippi. It was as he was being beaten that he heard and accepted God s call to a ministry of reconciliation between blacks and whites. Be encouraged by the fruits of Perkins ministries in the heart of racially torn Mississippi and throughout the world. Redistribution: The earth does not belong to us, but to God. We are only its stewards. God provided the earth for all mankind. Economic injustice, then, is simply depriving people of free access to God s creation. Justice is achieved by working with God to share His resources with the disenfranchised of the earth.
