Justice Rising

When John M. Perkins was writing his classic book, Let Justice Roll Down in 1976, H. Spees was a young justice advocate living among the poor in Mississippi as a member of Perkins’ Mendenhall Ministries. Thirty seven years later, John Perkins and H. Spees are collaborating once again to write the crowning legacy of Perkins’ life. Through his ministry, Perkins has focused on the Three Rs of justice. In Justice Rising, Perkins and Spees will show how these core values of justice are on display in the life of Jesus. The incarnation of Jesus was a relocation from heaven to earth in order to live among us. Through the crucifixion, Jesus accomplished the reconciliation of sinful humanity to a holy God. And by His resurrection, Jesus initiated the redistribution of the gifts and the power of the Holy Spirit throughout the world.
