“If God designed us to experience true happiness and abundant life, why do so many Christians feel dissatisfied and purposeless? We try to make our lives better by chasing our own dreams, but that only makes the problem worse. Instead, the path to a just life that’s satisfying and permeated with meaning leads us alongside the orphan, the widow, and the powerless. Using clear evangelical theology and compelling narratives drawn from two decades of global ministry and travel, Ken Wytsma, the founder of The Justice Conference, shows God’s unchanging love for all His children. On the way, the author calls us back to a proper understanding of biblical justice, a redeeming glimpse into the true meaning of righteousness and the remarkable connection between our own joy, the joy of others, and the wondrous Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Pursuing Justice shows that God isn’t primarily concerned with personal piety but about empowering His children to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with their creator. The message is as hopeful as it is fresh: when you discover anew the meaning of the Gospel and give your life away, you will find it…and it will be the best life you can imagine.”
I found Pursuing Justice a difficult book to get in to. It was not a very easy read and I didn’t sit down and read it through like I do most books, even dry ones. I’m sure it’s a decent book with good ideas in it, but with my busy life style, I like reading more entertaining books. There were illustrations and diagrams to back up the points made in each chapter. With quotes and stories to try to make it easier to read, the author did try to make up for the lack of entertainment in the meat of the book. It felt like he was just trying to make it longer, though.
I will keep this book on my shelf, but am glad I didn’t have to pay for it.
