Living for Jesus and Justice

'It’s so easy for the passion for justice to be channeled into activism whilst neglecting to nurture an inner life that fuels it. Mission spirituality is surely the rhythm of both. This new articulation of longings for a better world in prayers and liturgies along with the offering of memories of those who have gone before to light the road is a wonderful gift in that regard. It’s a great resource for individuals and communities seeking to join in God’s healing of all things, to breathe in before acting out.'

Jonny Baker, CMS

'This book is water for the thirsty: a rich resource to help Christians in the UK pray and act in these times when radical discipleship is demanded of all of us; and a profound reminder that none of us do this on our own. Read it, pray it, live it – in the company of an ever-increasing 'cloud of witnesses' to God’s ways of justice and peace.'

Al Barrett, Vicar of Hodge Hill

'Prayer isn’t a mechanism for escape; it’s a manifesto for engagement in a new world order. By focussing on the Beatitudes, this book reminds us that far from leaving us with a group of platitudes, Jesus issued a call to holy rebellion; to radical, prayerful practice. Living for Jesus & Justice gathers wisdom from those who have responded to that challenge. The result - a toolkit for contemplative activism. We'll be using it in Oasis communities.'
