A Call to Act offers practical, up-close actions to helping bring justice
You'll feel equipped to help yourself and others with financial stability
Anna Hockley
Eden Christian Books Specialist
A practical tool for individual, churches, and small groups, and incorporating discussion questions and accompanying videos, A Call to Act demonstrates that, in order to engage with poverty and need, we must re-evaluate our own attitudes and adopt a poverty-busting lifestyle.
There are undoubted challenges to embracing a life of simplicity but these are broken down into ideas for action.
Whether getting up close to poverty, rejecting comfort in favour of compassion, or living with a more poverty-focused lifestyle, churches and individuals will be empowered to live out Jesus' principles of justice, mercy, and the care of creation within their own communities and the wider world.
