Product Description
by Kurt Ver Beek (Author), Nicholas P. Wolterstorff (Author), Ruth Padilla Deborst (Foreword by)
Christians around the world are awakening to the Biblical call to "Do Justice"--but what does that look like in practice? Through a series of compelling and illuminating letters, a renowned philosopher and the founder of a ground-breaking Honduran justice organization draw on decades of personal experience to discuss theology, politics, human nature, and the messiness of making government systems work to defend rights and uphold justice.
