Zealous Love: A Practical Guide to Social Justice

by Mike Yankoski, Danae Yankoski, Eugene Peterson Narrated by Jeremy Johnson

Overview

Christians who are passionate about helping others-but aren't sure where or how to focus their energy-will find much to love about Zealous Love. Authors Mike and Danae Yankoski have written just what Christians need to integrate compassion and justice into their lives.“Our hope,” they write, “is that God will work through this book ... to help direct your life so that you can act on tangible concern for neighbors in need, both globally and locally. That's the prayer knit into every sentence, every word, of Zealous Love.”Zealous Love introduces eight of the world's most pressing challenges: hunger, unclean water, HIV/AIDS, creation degradation, lack of education, economic inequality, refugees, and human trafficking. But it does more than educate. It provides real, practical, do-able steps anyone can take to help make a difference.

Editorial Reviews

Library Journal

Mike Yankoski (Under the Overpass) and Danae Yankoski (The Forgotten God) marshall dozens of first-person testimonies and advice on eight issues about which they feel the conscientious Christian might take action: hunger, clean water, HIV/AIDS, environmental degradation, education, economic inequality, refugees, and human trafficking. The volume is richly illustrated and attractively formatted with inset reflections, contributors' biographies, and opportunities for reader reflection. VERDICT This is not likely to persuade every Christian to leap from the sofa; it's best for young and socially aware Christians looking for ways and places in the world to focus their energy.
