All invited to Campbell and Sherwood’s book-release celebration Tuesday
Anderson Campbell and Steve Sherwood of the College of Christian Studies invite you to help celebrate the release of their book Praying for Justice: A Lectionary of Christian Concern, from 6 to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 10, at Chapters Books and Coffee (701 E. 1st St.).
Campbell and Sherwood believe God is greater than any politician, political system or nation, and that now is the time for people of faith to act in tangible, costly and courageous ways. The book, written in response to the troubling rhetoric and division of the 2016 election season, calls Christians to live into wisdom, prudence, compassion, humility and discernment – and to pursue the heart of God’s kingdom vision: a society in which all are valued as individuals bearing God’s image.
The book invites readers to use each day’s verse as a meditation or reflection for that day and each week’s quotation as an examination of the ways in which their life images God’s redemptive justice in the world.
Books will also be for sale in the College of Christian Studies ($18); 100 percent of the net proceeds will go to Church World Service to aid in its work of resettling refugees and advocating for immigrant and refugee rights in the United States.
