"A book of prophetic and vital significance. Gary Haugen has pioneered in a field where Christians should be at the forefront."
Philip Yancey, author of What's So Amazing About Grace?
"How so many of us Bible-loving disciples have missed God's passion for justice that is plain on innumerable pages of Scripture is a tragic mystery. God has used this classic to open the eyes of the blind and to ignite a movement of prayer and action to join him on his mission of releasing the oppressed. Read it and be changed."
Amy L. Sherman, senior fellow, Sagamore Institute Center on Faith in Communities
"Justice-the life-giving use of power in all relationships-is essential to God's joyful vision for human flourishing. Good News About Injustice points us toward this intention and hope, and motivates us to join God and one another in a passionate and urgent pursuit of this vision. The juggernaut of our own inadequacies on the one hand, and the scale of need on the other, cannot and need not stop us from seeking justice for all our sakes, especially those violently oppressed by unjust people and systems."
Mark Labberton, Fuller Theological Seminary, author of The Dangerous Act of Worship
