Just Living came about following Rose Berger's invitation for me to become a contributing editor for Sojourners Magazine, writing 26 essays over the course of the early spring and mid-summer of 2019 for "Living the Word," a lectionary-based Bible study combining biblical exegesis with social justice commentary. Before things were underway, Rose heavily stressed that I put my best thoughts forward. Just Living is organized into six parts. Each part consists of a themed introduction paired with a set of four to five meditations. Of special note, the biblical exposition done for each meditation could center on one or several from the set of Scripture readings assigned for the week. Concluding each meditation is a short prayer and discussion questions for further reflection.
