I could have done with the illustrations and some of the in-between-chapters poetry and such (I think most of it's a bit cheesy), but otherwise I loved this book. Wytsma writes clearly and backs up what he says with Scripture. When I finished reading, I was all fired up to do my part to make the world (or at least my community) a better place.

This book should be required reading for new and old Christians alike. Phenomenal.

When I started researching and writing the article that would become “Serving Justice vs. Saving Souls” for Reject Apathy last year, I decided right away I’d need to interview Ken Wytsma. As the pastor of a church, the president of a college, and the founder of a conference dedicated to helping people think theologically about justice issues, I knew he had an important perspective to share. “Justice makes demands of us in every aspect of our daily existence,” he told me. “It’s something too big for any of us to live up to, which is why we need grace. Grace is what keeps us from falling flat.”
In Pursuing Justice: The Call to Live and Die for Bigger Things (Thomas Nelson), written with D.R. Jacobsen and slated for release on February 12, Wytsma expands on those ideas, and he does so, importantly, with grace.

“We don't stray away from good doctrine or truth by focusing on justice and compassion for those in the margins - rather, we find Jesus and truth in the margins.”
–Ken Wytsma
Good book! Wytsma's thoughts and explorations were very well thought out and well put, and they drew from quite a wide variety of sources to support the points he's made.
I'd recommend this to anyone looking to explore more of how issues of justice and faith are connected.

An important message for all Christians to read, understand and live out. This well-researched book explains how worship is more than the songs we sing on Sunday mornings. Worship is pursuing justice and laying down our lives for all the things God cares about...the widow, the orphan, the poor, the oppressed, His creation.... This book challenges Christians to look beyond our comfortable lives and our pursuits of consumerism to see how our actions and inactions affect others.
