Synopsis

"Justice is something every generation has to strive for."

A trailblazer in the civil rights movement, John M. Perkins led voter registration efforts in 1964, worked for school desegregation in 1967, and was jailed and tortured in 1970. He is no less zealous today as he sees a new generation of freedom fighters battling the same issues and the same systems he has spent his life working to correct.

Through his raw, personal stories spanning from the civil rights era to today, Perkins shows us that, though the fight is not over, there are many reasons to hope and to carry on the good work he and his contemporaries began more than a generation ago. He calls us to work for justice by living out God’s redemptive love in all of our relationships.

“It all comes down to love,” he says. “Love will always be our final fight.”

I had never heard of John Perkins until my husband read a book of his last year, and recommended it to me: With Justice for All: A Strategy for Community Development. It contained a bit of his general life story, but focused on his work on community development in Mississippi. His vision for Christi......more

Goodreads review by Morgan on December 28, 2022

While I don't agree with everything John believes theologically, I admire and support his fight for racial justice in the Church. It's incredible how he sees Jesus' heart for the oppressed, and has been able to bring lasting change to the comminutes he's been a part of. John's voice is a much-needed......more

Goodreads review by David on August 17, 2020

John Perkins is a man I'd like to know more about. This book only hints at his story. In this book, he argues for the idea that everyone should love one another with a love that flows from the love of Christ. This is the answer to racial tension and disunity. Perkins had many good things to say and c......more
