Download or read book We Cry Justice written by Liz Theoharis and published by Broadleaf Books . This book was released on 2021-10-12 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible proclaims justice and abundance for the poor. Yet these powerful passages about poverty are frequently overlooked and misinterpreted. Enter the Poor People's Campaign, a movement against racism, poverty, ecological devastation, militarism, and religious nationalism. In We Cry Justice, Liz Theoharis, co-chair of the campaign, is joined by pastors, community organizers, scholars, low-wage workers, lay leaders, and people in poverty to interpret sacred stories about the poor seeking healing, equity, and freedom. In a world roiled by poverty and injustice, Scripture still speaks. Organized into fifty-two chapters, each focusing on a key Scripture passage, We Cry Justice offers comfort and challenge from the many stories of the poor taking action together. Read anew the story of the exodus that frees people from debt and slavery, the prophets who denounce the rich and ruling classes, the stories of Jesus's healing and parables about fair wages, and the early church's sharing of goods. Reflection questions and a short prayer at the end of each chapter offer the opportunity to use the book devotionally through a year. The Bible cries for justice, and we do too. It's time to act on God's persistent call to repair the breach and fight poverty, not the poor.
Download or read book A Cry for Justice written by Jeff Crippen and published by . This book was released on 2012-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: n many Christian circles this may be a taboo subject-spoken of in hushed tones or behind closed doors. But it is a very real problem that must be brought into the light of Scripture. Abuse in the church takes different forms, but it is alive and active even in "nice" families in our churches. Typically, the abuser is male, usually a husband--and his character is that of a manipulating deceiver! Countless women and children even many faithful pastors--have been abused by these deceivers. Have you, or someone you know, been a victim? Has an abuser: Threatened physical violence if he does not get away? Intimidated you with abusive language? Denied you affection? Denied you medical attention? Manipulated friends and acquaintances in order to gain allies? Pastor Jeff Crippen uses his over thirty years of experience to rip the lid off this most insidious behavior that is often hidden in plain sight. He not only maintains that Bible believing churches have ignored or failed to face the problem, he insists that when they do counsel a victim of abuse, they get it all wrong! The result is that the victim gets pulled into deeper-even life threatening-danger! This book will come as a life-saver in a raging sea for those under the thumb of an abusive spouse of "friend". The Lord Jesus Christ wants you to be free in him: spiritually, emotionally, and, yes, physically. Every pastor also needs to read this book, either because they too have been a victim, but, more importantly, so that they properly counsel those caught in a cycle of abuse.

Book Synopsis A Cry For Justice II by : Daniel Cummings
Download or read book A Cry For Justice II written by Daniel Cummings and published by Fulton Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-08-26 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What would you do if, upon arriving home from a hard day's work, you found out that your wife had been brutally raped by someone you knew? What would you do? "He put a gun to my head and dragged me into a dark room. He pushed me down on the bed and said, 'If you make a sound, I will kill you.' He then pulled down my pants and raped me." Rape is a horrible crime. It is a crime that often leaves the victim psychologically scarred for life. Daniel Cummings is the husband of a rape survivor. The heinous crime of rape has been perpetrated upon his man's wife, and the culprit is identified by the victim. When the criminal's identity is made known to the agents of law enforcement, it is reasonably expected that justice will be served. When the culprit has been positively identified as the rapist and those agencies empowered with the authority to arrest the culprit and thereby mete out justice consciously refuse to perform the duties they have been sworn to uphold, citing their own lack of confidence in the process of the justice system as the reason they will not perform their sworn duty, they have, by their own inaction, aligned themselves with the rapist and closed the doors to even a semblance of justice. What would you do? What would you do if you discovered that a knife and gun were used to force your wife into submission? What would you do? What would you do if, after doing everything that the law dictated a law-abiding citizen should do, all the right things that a traumatized man and wife could possibly endure by reporting the rape, you get slapped in the face with endless contrived humiliation? What would you do? Daniel Cummings hasn't been able to sleep. All he can think about is the knife put to his wife's throat, the gun put to her head, and the bloodstains on her pants from vaginal hemorrhaging. He knows he has to do something.
Book Synopsis Crying Out for Justice Full-Throated and Unsparingly by : Tim Stier
Download or read book Crying Out for Justice Full-Throated and Unsparingly written by Tim Stier and published by Hillcrest Publishing Group. This book was released on 2015-03-17 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many people ask why more Catholic priests don't speak up about the crisis roiling the Church: the rampant sexual abuse of children and youth, the second-class status of women, the denial of dignity and respect for gay and lesbian persons, and the woeful and at times criminal behavior of bishops. Crying Out for Justice Full-Throated and Unsparingly is one priest's personal story of awakening to the urgent need for structural reform. Tim Stier's 25 years of experience as a parish priest in five parishes in the suburbs of Oakland, California, and ten more years in voluntary exile, provide ample evidence that the Catholic Church is in dire need of change. Real reform requires truth telling and this book does a lot of that. The abysmal leadership in many dioceses and parishes causes real suffering to real people.

Book Synopsis The Truth about Stories by : Thomas King
Download or read book The Truth about Stories written by Thomas King and published by House of Anansi. This book was released on 2003 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2003 Trillium Book Award "Stories are wondrous things," award-winning author and scholar Thomas King declares in his 2003 CBC Massey Lectures. "And they are dangerous." Beginning with a traditional Native oral story, King weaves his way through literature and history, religion and politics, popular culture and social protest, gracefully elucidating North America's relationship with its Native peoples. Native culture has deep ties to storytelling, and yet no other North American culture has been the subject of more erroneous stories. The Indian of fact, as King says, bears little resemblance to the literary Indian, the dying Indian, the construct so powerfully and often destructively projected by White North America. With keen perception and wit, King illustrates that stories are the key to, and only hope for, human understanding. He compels us to listen well.
Book Synopsis Confronting Injustice without Compromising Truth by : Thaddeus J. Williams
Download or read book Confronting Injustice without Compromising Truth written by Thaddeus J. Williams and published by Zondervan Academic. This book was released on 2020-12-22 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God does not suggest, he commands that we do justice. Social justice is not optional for the Christian. All injustice affects others, so talking about justice that isn't social is like talking about water that isn't wet or a square with no right angles. But the Bible's call to seek justice is not a call to superficial, kneejerk activism. We are not merely commanded to execute justice, but to "truly execute justice." The God who commands us to seek justice is the same God who commands us to "test everything" and "hold fast to what is good." Drawing from a diverse range of theologians, sociologists, artists, and activists, Confronting Injustice without Compromising Truth, by Thaddeus Williams, makes the case that we must be discerning if we are to "truly execute justice" as Scripture commands. Not everything called "social justice" today is compatible with a biblical vision of a better world. The Bible offers hopeful and distinctive answers to deep questions of worship, community, salvation, and knowledge that ought to mark a uniquely Christian pursuit of justice. Topics addressed include: Racism Sexuality Socialism Culture War Abortion Tribalism Critical Theory Identity Politics Confronting Injustice without Compromising Truth also brings in unique voices to talk about their experiences with these various social justice issues, including: Michelle-Lee Barnwall Suresh Budhaprithi Eddie Byun Freddie Cardoza Becket Cook Bella Danusiar Monique Duson Ojo Okeye Edwin Ramirez Samuel Sey Neil Shenvi Walt Sobchak In Confronting Injustice without Compromising Truth, Thaddeus Williams transcends our religious and political tribalism and challenges readers to discover what the Bible and the example of Jesus have to teach us about justice. He presents a compelling vision of justice for all God's image-bearers that offers hopeful answers to life's biggest questions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "From the text: "The background is clear. . . . [Jerusalem] has been conquered and re-conquered more than 37 times. The latest conquest in 1967 was by the Israeli army. After the war Israel 'took in' not only the 5 square kilometers of Arab East Jerusalem - but also 65 square kilometers of surrounding open country and villages, most of which never had any municipal link to Jerusalem. Overnight they became part of Israel's 'eternal and indivisible capital.' The history of Jerusalem has been written with blood."" "The first part of this sequel to Justice and Only Justice focuses on events since the Intifada of 1987, including the violence that has come from Israel's aggression and from the use of suicide bombers by Palestinians. The second part of the book draws on scripture, lifting up biblical figures such as Samson, Jonah, Daniel, and Jesus as it examines issues of ownership of the land. In the final section, Ateek presents a strategy to achieve peace and justice nonviolently that will promote justice for the Palestinians and security for both Israel and Palestine."--BOOK JACKET.
