Resumen del Editor

International Justice Mission president Gary A. Haugen has found that "the pathway out of a nearly comatose state of boredom, ineffectiveness and triviality lies in the struggle for justice." This book describes how to break out of a ho-hum Christian life and see God's powerful and mysterious ways at work.

Justice

I find it fascinating how some books wait for just the right time to jump into my life. Sometimes, like in this case, I’ve had this book on my list for years. I saw Haugen speak at the Global Leadership Summit a few years ago and added this book to my To-Read list back then. The timing was perfect to fit with The Water Keeper. Haugen is the leader of International Justice Mission (IJM) and this book holds some of his stories and defines what the non-profit is all about: Justice. I think we all know justice when we see it, but it can be hard to put words around it. So instead, they define injustice as the abuse of the power to take life, freedom, property, and dignity away from the weak. We have all seen this, and we all know it’s wrong. So, if we know what is wrong, what keeps us from acting? Typically, these four things contribute to inaction: Comfort, security, control, success. We don’t want to risk our comfort. Confronting powerful people to force justice can be dangerous. We don’t want to give up control and take risks. And typically, our culture does not reward helping the oppressed with accolades or financial success. Doing God’s will is in a fallen world is inherently dangerous. Speaking truth and helping the needy are dangerous. So, what can we expect instead, when we risk it all to seek justice on behalf of others? Haugen says we can expect adventure in ways that will make us come alive, exponential growth in our faith, miracles, and deep, personal knowledge of Jesus. Haugen also talks about how parenting is having your heart walking around in someone else body. I related to this. It’s how we can all relate to each other. Ultimately this book is a call to seek justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with your God in faithfulness.

I recommend this book to men who are seeking to understand why God made them with a warrior spirit.

Great Diagnosis Shameless Plugs for IJM

Gary is by every and all accounts a world changing believer in Jesus. He should have made all his points without reference to his organization. Unless if course the book was written as a solicitation piece.
