justice in the burbs

Len at NextReformation writes a great piece on the "going" versus the "sent" church. The two can be easily illustrated.

Read his post and then check out this interesting way to advertise a book, Justice In the Burbs by Will and Lisa Amson.



The book claims that the story of justice is the story of God. The Amazon review reads as follows:
In the suburban world of nice homes, neat lawns, and new cars, it can be easy to forget about social justice issues. Life keeps us busy, and the poor and disenfranchised of our world are invisible as we go from our garage to our workplace and back again. But suburbanites can be a force for social justice in the world. In this unique book, readers will take a journey with a young couple from the ’burbs as they learn to notice and act on the issues of justice that abound no matter where you live. This engaging narrative helps readers kiss apathy and ignorance goodbye in favor of a life of concern and action in order to help our fellow human beings.

One commenter wrote, "A compelling argument for living justly in an unjust world, and for loving our neighbors in a hands-on, life-changing way." Sounds interesting to me. Feel free to buy a copy for me.
