Yet these powerful passages about poverty are frequently overlooked and misinterpreted.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEnter the Poor People's Campaign, a movement against racism, poverty, ecological devastation, militarism, and religious nationalism. In \u003ci\u003eWe Cry Justice, \u003c\/i\u003e Liz Theoharis, co-chair of the campaign, is joined by pastors, community organizers, scholars, low-wage workers, lay leaders, and people in poverty to interpret sacred stories about the poor seeking healing, equity, and freedom. In a world roiled by poverty and injustice, Scripture still speaks.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOrganized into fifty-two chapters, each focusing on a key Scripture passage, \u003ci\u003eWe Cry Justice\u003c\/i\u003e offers comfort and challenge from the many stories of the poor taking action together. Read anew the story of the exodus that frees people from debt and slavery, the prophets who denounce the rich and ruling classes, the stories of Jesus's healing and parables about fair wages, and the early church's sharing of goods. Reflection questions and a short prayer at the end of each chapter offer the opportunity to use the book devotionally through a year.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Bible cries for justice, and we do too. It's time to act on God's persistent call to repair the breach and fight poverty, not the poor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 241\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 8.4 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 12, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51767914725664,"sku":"9781506473642","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/d62f82f98d7010bc6b7b1be9ae7237aa.webp?v=1780320331","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/we-cry-justice-reading-the-bible-with-the-poor-peoples-campaign-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
