A very helpful book that gives a clear & realistic model for how to bring the issues of justice & community into the day-to-day practice of a person following Jesus Christ.
The concepts are radical yet simple. The model is accomplishable weather the reader works on Wall St, Capitol Hill or the local fast food restaurant down the street.
Blue proposes a 3 step plan that at least one step can be accomplished by anyone who wants to integrate Justice issues into the normal Christian life.
The model starts with the old adage: "Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he'll eat for a lifetime." Giving a fish involves actually providing what a person needs to survive. Teaching a man involves training and help allowing for growth & knowledge to provide for himself. The third component is "Fixing the Pond," this involves working with the policy & governmental perspectives to make improvements to the system.
