Review Quotes
"Justice--the life-giving use of power in all relationships--is essential to God's joyful vision for human flourishing. Good News About Injustice points us toward this intention and hope, and motivates us to join God and one another in a passionate and urgent pursuit of this vision. The juggernaut of our own inadequacies on the one hand, and the scale of need on the other, cannot and need not stop us from seeking justice for all our sakes, especially those violently oppressed by unjust people and systems."
--Mark Labberton, Fuller Theological Seminary, author of The Dangerous Act of Worship"Since its original publication, IJM President Gary Haugen's Good News About Injustice has awakened the church to God's passion for justice and inspired a new generation to join the battle against slavery and violent oppression and for the human rights of all people. . . . Good News About Injustice is a clarion call for Christians to share God's heart for justice and to show up where the world needs them most--among those fighting for their lives and the most basic of rights."
--Larry Cox, Amnesty International USAAbout the Author
