"Cause us trouble Keith, but not too much trouble," these were final words of advice from a bishop to a new curate the day before his ordination. This book is the result of much reflection on that advice. Keith Hebden, parish priest and spiritual activist brings action and theory together with ideas that are as practical, accessible and exciting as the activism they underwrite. Beginning with the conviction that Jesus was an activist who was deeply committed to community, this book seeks to explore ways in which each of us can challenge the unjust structures that keep us from realising our full and common humanity. "Seeking Justice" is a timely reminder of our need to face up to our personal ability to change the world we live in and the urgency of the task ahead.

    Seeking Justice - The Radical Compassion of Jesus is an absolutely fantastic book that really digs at what it means to be compassionate, to make the right choices, to act as Jesus would have, and above all to truly act. It is part activist manual and part leader's guide and above all it is truly insightful, compassionate and intriguing. Is there guilt to be found in a book about radical compassion – you bet there is! Lots actually as you realise how little we act with compassion for our neighbours, for strangers, for our communities and most of all for ourselves. This book is a call to action, indeed as the preface states it is "a lab book for your experiments in social transformation" and as such at the end of each chapter you will find sections with suggestions for 'Building Compassionate Communities', 'For Small Groups' and 'Further Reading'. I'd really suggest that you take up some of these options, indeed after reading the book I'm unsure how you couldn't want to because this book is filled with honest passion and enthusiasm that lights the way for others. It's an intelligent and articulate book that crosses denominational boundaries and really looks at how we can act in our communities and lives as truly compassionate beings and bringers of God's grace to others. A beautiful book and one that should be read by anyone that wants a better community and to be more like Jesus in their life.
