Have a Good NEWS

[[[Good news about injustice, updated 10-th Anniversary: Witness of Courage to the people of planet]]]

Accounts of injustice from our own communities and from around the world often leave us feeling outraged and helpless. We wonder what we can possibly do in response. And we wonder where is the God of justice?

Jesus, however, said, "Take heart! I have overcome the world." Gary Haugen sees the truth of Jesus' claim vindicated throughout Scripture, which portrays a God who rises up against injustice.

He also believes that this is true in life sometimes little-known Christians, who for many years courageously face of evil when they saw him. Here he tells the stories of these witnesses of hope to people of the planet.

The good news about injustice is that God is against it. God is in the business of using the unlikely to perform the holy, Haugen contends. And in this book he not only offers stories of courageous witnesses past and present, he also calls the body of Christ to action. He offers concrete guidance on the ways and means its members can rise up to seek justice throughout the world.


More review soon.

The Good News About Injustice is a gripping, moving, and extremely informative examination of the unbelievable depths of injustice in the world, and how as Christians we can and must bring relief and justice to those who are suffering. Never before have I been inspired by a book in the way The Good News About Injustice has inspired me.

It exposes the truth about what the bible says about oppression and violence against God's children, and the resounding call for God's followers to stand against the forces of corruption and oppression. I recommend this book not only to those with an active interest in justice and human rights, but for anyone who wants a more complete understanding of who God is, and what it means to follow him.

Buy this book.

This is an excellent book for anyone to gain a basic or deeper understanding of what justice is, why we need to care about justice, and how to make a difference for the lives of individuals around the world in unjust situations.

As early as the preface, Haugen shows his heart for justice issues and acknowledges that he is only a small part in the work of justice. He needs you and me and all the people at International Justice Mission and in other helping organizations.

Haugen begins with the truth about his feelings and emotions, as he began the Ministry of Justice, and turns it into a problem for the reader to get out of the American suburban complacency. He then proceeds to find the motivation for the administration of justice in the Bible, and acutely describe the heart of God for the justice of his people.

Then he describes the "anatomy of injustice" and explains how oppressors work, and what we can stop them. He gives hundreds of examples throughout the book, mostly of the work of lawyers within IJM to seek out justice for those enslaved to child labor, held captive in brothels, or victims of genocide.



Overall, Haugen has much experience in working with justice issues around the world and will grip your heart with stories of oppression and liberation, pleading with you to join the cause. Read this in a room where you can cry, and make sure to read the first chapters carefully so that you will be well-founded in the Word of God and tips about how to circumvent compassion fatigue.

I liked this book a LOT!! Gary Haugen does an excellent job at inspiring the average person that they too have a role in the fight against injustice. He moves from a place of inspiration to practical steps for helping to abolish modern day slavery, including human trafficking. I'm so glad I read this! :)
