Faithful lives of justice are formed and shaped by seeking God, in small acts like prayer and honoring Sabbath time.

A young couple is surrounded by nice homes and cars in neighbor- hoods that seem to be beyond the need of working for justice. And then, they take time to notice their own cul-de-sacs and sidewalks.

If you wonder how ordinary choices we make every day, from food we eat to clothes we purchase to debt we allow, might be connected to matters of just living, pick up this read. Clawson, a pastor, and author, helps navigate the complexity of our choices.

The setting of this book is 1963 and King’s, Letter From a Birmingham Jail. Later that year King developed this book to help us understand how the non-violent revolution came to be and why America must know its history.

A more dedicated read, biblical scholar Brueggemann presents visions from Hebrew prophets and poets in scripture, reminding us what just social order ought to look like. Great book to stimu- late conversation and deeper reading with friends. If you’ve never read Brueggemann, this may be a good first.
