Everyday Justice

I just finished reading a new book by Julie Clawson, called ‘Everyday Justice’.  This book touches on many of the same ideas and subjects that I have been thinking and writing about over the past year.  I highly recommend this book - it helps us understand how the daily choices we make impact people around the world and gives practical ideas and steps that enable us to live more justly.  In a consumer culture focused on finding the lowest prices and consuming more and more, we rarely stop to think about how our choices keep people trapped in poverty.  The church can and should lead the way with efforts like Fair Trade, sustainable agriculture, and encouraging economic development in poor countries.  This book shows us how.

There is also a website, where you can find more information and links.
