"A great book. Many people have addressed this subject, few have done it with such biblical eloquence and elegance." - Michael Ramsden, European Director, RZIM Zacharias Trust For years Simon has been absorbed by the quest for a truly Spirit-filled life. But he has realized that this is only the start: the truly Spirit-filled life is one that has a heart for the marginalized - looking outward rather than inward. Justice, he writes, is 'God's delight'. The more we imitate Jesus, the more we will focus our hearts and minds on spreading justice. Jesus was a leper lover: who today is marginalized? Jesus had time for the poor: what is our responsibility? Jesus called for justice: how do we intercede? This is a passionate, luminous book, filled with revealing stories and cogent argument. 'Masterful combines a profound knowledge of Scripture, brilliant theology, and deep insight into the human condition.' - Dr Lucy Peppiatt , church planter and systematic theologian 'Ponsonby has done it again! You miss this book at your peril. Read it. Do it.' - Patrick McDonald, Executive Director, Viva "Simon's compelling exploration of justice and mercy is rich fare indeed. It is a feast of truth, served up in tenderness." - Anita Cleverly, Ask Prayer Network, Senior Leadership Team, St Aldates Oxford
Simon Ponsonby is an international author, speaker and theologian basedat St Aldate's Oxford, where he leads a School of Theology. He is author of several books.
