Title: Micahs Challenge The Churchs Responsibility To The Global Poor
Description: 'He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God (Micah 6:8)'. Micah's Challenge is a global Christian campaign aiming to deepen the engagement with impoverished and marginalized communities; and to challenge international leaders and leaders of rich and poor countries, to achieve the Millennium Development Goals and so halve absolute global poverty by 2015! This is Micah's challenge to Israel in his day and to the church in our day. God called them and us to act with justice, mercy and humility in dealing with the poor. This book pulls together prophetic voices from Jim Wallis to Tony Campolo and from Ronald Sider to Rene Padilla and Joel Edwards to explore the theological, ethical and practical dimensions of Micah's challenge."--Amazon.com.
