Changing Lenses: A New Focus for Crime and Justice (Christian Peace Shelf)
Howard Zehr demonstrates convincingly that biblical mercy is not an absurd idea but can be practically applied in our criminal justice system.... This book is a must for anyone working in the field of criminal justice, but it speaks to all of us who care about proclaiming God's mercy amidst the brokenness of our society.--The Other SideThis book calls for a rethinking of crime and justice and offers a bold new direction. Readers should be aware, however, that it isn't merely a handy little volume with simplistic assessments and catchy slogans. The author challenges the definitions and assumptions that color our thinking and shape public policy on crime and justice.--CBA Marketplace
