description: “On Earth As It Is In Heaven” is a sequel to the author's previous book on social justice ministry in faith communities. This book offers readers the opportunity to explore four specific topic (1) How to organize an effective and sustainable social justice ministry within a faith community” called "The Organizing Approach Model"; (2) A concentrated focus on the often misunderstood, confusing and sometimes feared faith-based ministry of “social change”; (3) An examination of the critical role of social justice ministry “Formation” along with the author's recommendation about the best formation process in the field; and, (4) A clear, common sense set of principles that shape a proposed “Spirituality of Social Justice Ministry” that can keep ministry leaders and practitioners on the right path as they cultivate a closer, deeper relationship with God through the ministry. Along the way, readers will discover answers to some important questions that challenge all social justice ministry champions. Much of the content utilizes a “skills training” format... like participating in leadership training sessions. In addition, a manual format style is offered if there is a desire to duplicate parts of the manuscript. The content is realistic, functional, and workable because it has been field-tested by the author and the thousands of ministry leaders and practitioners who have gone through his trainings.
