So I’m excited to reveal the cover of my upcoming book Everyday Justice: The Global Impact of Our Daily Choices. What do you think?
The book is being published by IVP and will be released in October. I saw it listed in the newest IVP trade catalog recently which was really cool and made the whole thing seem more real. As in – all the writing I tried to squeeze in between diaper changes and playing Candyland is actually becoming something.
The book, as the title implies, is about justice – about the ways each of us can live into the way of life Jesus calls us to live. I think too often we get overwhelmed by justice issues and decide that they are just for the Mother Teresas or the Shane Claibornes of the world to care about. So this book is about the ways each of us in our simple everyday lives can act justly. In it I explore the ways that we can love our neighbors through what we eat, wear, drive, and consume. But the book isn’t just a list of do’s and don’ts, but an exploration of what it means to love our neighbor. It explores what it means not only to pursue justice with our day to day actions, but also how we can avoid supporting systems of injustice with those actions as well.
I’m excited about it – click here if you want to read what others are saying. I just thought I’d share some of the excitement at moving forward in this process with you all here!
