Deep Justice in a Broken World: Helping Your Kids Serve Others and Right the Wrongs Around Them

by Kara E. Powell, Chap Clark, Kara Powell

Book Overview

It doesn't take a long list of statistics to convince you that our world is broken. Mission trips, service projects, and supporting children through relief organizations are just a few of the ways that many youth workers engage their students in serving the least, the last, and the lost.

Customer Reviews

Deep Justice

This book is one of the very best I've read to move students from just participating in service projects to deep justice work!

Let's go deep!

This book, Deep Justice in a Broken World, is a much needed resource in a world of fast food, fast cars, and fast relationships. The authors cause us to stop and reflect on how to develop character, true character, in a generation that is trapped in consumerism and surrounded with marketing messages. This is the perfect book for anyone who cares about the future of America - and how our future can help shape the world for the better. I HIGHLY recommend this book!!!

A Monumentally Important work

This book is a must read for all those who have a heart for teenagers and care about the church. The days of entertaining youth, keeping them busy with church activities, and just trying to help them "make it" through their school years are over. This book points to a new and much needed understanding of what it means to help teenagers participate in embodying and witnessing to the Kingdom of God in their lives. The greatest value of this work is not that is adds to or even changes the sorts of things students can be a part of, but that helps to establish an entirely fresh paradigm of what it means to think about and do youth ministry. If you are not ready to rethink "youth ministry" from the bottom up leaving no stone unturned, then understand, this will be quite a dangerous read. Otherwise, it's a must have!
