Books on Prayer

book Army On Its Knees

Conversations with God

Conversations with God
by Bruce Power

Books on Justice

Be A Hero Be A Hero
by Wesley Campbell and Stephen Court
Be a Hero is a battle cry challenging the Body of Christ to be enlisted in the greatest battle of all times-the battle for mercy and social justice. The book opens with God's interaction in the affairs of men and His plan to redeem the 'invisible' people through justice, mercy and compassion. Setting the stage theologically the authors then unveil the great exploits of those who have gone before us and the impact that they made in their own times and on their own culture. Recommended.

Challenging Evil

Challenging Evil
by S Carvosso Gauntlett and Danielle Strickland
Originally published as Social Evils the Army has Challenged', authored by S. Carvosso Gauntlett, Just Salvos have released a reprint of this book as Challenging Evil. The original text is intact, but the book now includes brand new discussion guides written by Major Danielle Strickland. The combination of Gauntlett and Strickland, the alignment of grassroots stories from the core of The Salvation Army's mission and discussion guides around old fashion evils in modern day wrapping, and the challenge and inspiration to continue on the work of those who have gone before is pure genius.

50 Ways to do Justice

50 Ways to do Justice
by Tim & Laura Gittins and Peter & Eileen Holley
To do justice requires knowing how to recognise injustice when we see it. This means becoming informed about the issues, knowing the facts and not being misledby prejudice and ignorance. As Christians we are called to be salt and light in this world, to let our light shine in the darkness - the light of hope and the light of God's love. This means speaking out against injustice, standing up for the oppressed and making a difference. This book is full of ideas and suggestions about how you and your family, your Church or local community can stand up against injustice and try to bring about a more just world.
