WHEN JUSTICE IS THE MEASURE by Commissioner M. Christine MacMillan | Don Pesterski | James E. Read
“You haven’t met Jesus until you’ve met him as a man of compassionate justice” When Justice is the Measure encourages those who follow Jesus to include the excluded, challenge cultural norms, confront corruption and advocate for those who are oppressed. Though injustice denies it, God intends human life to flourish. And God calls us to join the mission.
In a world where so many people are marginalized, the issues of justice seem to be an alien concept or at best a convenient political sound bite. This book offers a refreshing, challenging perspective on social justice. General André Cox, International Leader of The Salvation Army
The authors remind us of the intricate relationship between imago Dei, humanity and justice. This is a must-read for individuals who want to engage and respond to the call of divine justice through a global lens, in an honest, relevant and impactful way. 9 780888 575128 Publication Date: March 2014 ISBN: 978-0-88857-512-8 Price: $9.95 Size: 6” x 9” Binding: Perfect Page Count: 120 Category: RELIGION / The Salvation Army / Social Justice Marketing Contact: Kristine Macatangay E: Kristine_Macatangay@can.SalvationArmy.org T: 416 425 2111 ext.2501 F: 416 422 6102 International Rights Contact: Major Mike LeBlanc E: Mike_LeBlanc@can.SalvationArmy.org T: 416 422 6353 F: 416 422 6102
