This rich collection of essays is a powerful cacophony of prophetic voices that prefigure our beloved community." --Cornel West,Dietrich Bonhoeffer Chair, Union Theological Seminary, New York City "Put down what you are doing and read this book now.

We Cry Justice will inspire you to organize for the world that God calls us to create." --Eboo Patel, founder and president, Interfaith Youth Core "As we read [God's Word] together, we are reminded that the gospel is 'good news to the poor'--if it's not good news to the poor, then it is not the gospel of Jesus.

" --Shane Claiborne,author, activist, co-founder of Red Letter Christians "If you are inspired by the Poor People's Campaign, We Cry Justiceis a must-read.

This clarion call is the encounter that is needed to agitate and heal our nation and our planet." --Sister Simone Campbell, SSS, lawyer, advocate, and former executive director of NETWORK "In these pages, an impressive group of contributors reminds us that we cannot talk about the love of God without taking seriously the need for justice for all God's children, especially the poor, the vulnerable, and the voiceless." --The Most Rev. Michael B. Curry, presiding bishop of The Episcopal Church and author of Love Is the Way: Holding on to Hope in Troubling Times "The book is an invitation to reflect in fresh ways on the urgency of faith and on the demanding crisis we face concerning issues of justice.

This book is not to be 'scanned.' It is to be lived with while the justice-working, world-transforming Spirit of God does its relentless, indefatigable work." --Walter Brueggemann, Columbia Theological Seminary "Whether used as a personal devotional or as the foundation for communal discernment, We Cry Justiceis an immediate must-have for anyone who takes seriously the biblical call to work for a just and abundant life for all of creation." --Rev. Bruce Reyes-Chow, pastor, First Presbyterian Church of Palo Alto and former moderator of the Presbyterian Church (USA) "The writers of We Cry Justicebring alive the meaning and the challenge of 'God's preferential option for the poor' for our world today. The message is clear: Doing justice is not an option for people of faith; rather, it is the work of God." --The Very Reverend Kelly Brown Douglas, PhD, dean, Episcopal Divinity School at Union, Bill and Judith Moyers Chair in Theology, Union Theological Seminary.
