Book Description:
“Theologically grounded and refreshingly practical.”–Kristin Kobes Du Mez, New York Times bestselling author of Jesus and John Wayne
What if the way we’ve been taught to follow Jesus is missing something essential? What if there’s more to the gospel than we’ve experienced–something that could revolutionize how we love our neighbors and serve our communities?
In The Justice of Jesus, public theologian and international speaker Joash Thomas reveals how authentic biblical faith naturally leads to caring for the vulnerable and working for positive change in our neighborhoods. Drawing from his unique perspective serving in churches across different cultures and continents, Thomas shows how justice isn’t just a “social issue”–it’s at the very heart of what it means to follow Christ. Whether you’re a pastor, small group leader, or simply want to make a real difference in your community, this book offers practical wisdom you can actually use:
● simple steps to help your church better serve struggling families in your neighborhood
● biblical foundations that show why caring for others isn’t optional for Christians
● real success stories from churches that are making a tangible impact in their communities
● practical ideas for prayer, volunteering, and partnerships that don’t require a huge budget
● fresh insights on following Jesus that will deepen your faith and expand your heart
This isn’t about politics. It’s about discipleship.
The Justice of Jesus is perfect for:
· church leaders seeking authentic community engagement
· small groups wanting to study practical discipleship
· Christians curious about faith-based social action
· anyone asking, “How can my faith make a real difference?”
Thomas doesn’t just point out problems; he provides hope and concrete solutions. Drawing from Scripture and real-world examples, he shows how ordinary believers can do extraordinary things when they embrace Jesus’s vision for justice and healing.
The Justice of Jesus will inspire you with achievable ways to live out your faith more fully and help your church become a beacon of hope in your community.
