"Embracing Justice uses powerful narratives and stories – sometimes shocking ones - to move us from complacency to compassion. I was jerked from my own indifference when I read the author’s objective but graphic summary of the ongoing conflict in South Sudan, where between 2013 and 2018, civil war cost 400 000 lives and displaced 2.5 million people, although few headlines were generated in the west. When we look closely at our broken, unequal and violent world, home and abroad, we yearn to do something about the glaring lack of justice." ~ Elizabth Stephenson
“Human beings have an infinite capacity for self-deception and selective hearing when it comes to the words of Scripture.” ~ Isabelle Hamley, Embracing Justice
