Good News About Injustice Youth Edition : A Witness of Courage in a Hurting World
Review Date: 9/16/2009
Helpful Score: 1


Excellent book that gives insight into the injustices of this world (many of them horrifying),and then offers one mans vision into changing them. Not only does Gary Haugen take on these issues, he uses personal "elbow grease", as well as putting his money where his mouth is. He formed an organization call IJM, and they send people all over the world to take on this issues, with knowledge, and wisdom.

This book comes with a CD that gives highlights of "Blue Like Jazz" read by the author.
The book itself is essentially the first book, with some subtle differences. I would not recommend for someone who has read "Blue Like Jazz" and is looking for something new. Donald Miller has quite a few other books out that are really great, and they are must reads. This book would be good for someone who didn't read "Blue Like Jazz", or likes something to listen to, or really likes more of a devotional style book. I enjoyed it, but I knew what I was getting ahead of time!

Excellent information on our current food situations. What is organic? How is our meat processed? How is our food prepared? How,and what, should we eat? Written with humor, this book gives an important look at what we should know before we grocery shop. Some good recipes included.
