Publisher's Summary: The ONLY way to find abundant life and happiness is to give your life away. If God designed us to experience true happiness and abundant life, why do so many Christians feel dissatisfied and purposeless? We try to make our lives better by chasing our own dreams, but that only makes the problem worse. Instead, the path to a just life thats satisfying and permeated with meaning leads us alongside the orphan, the widow, and the powerless. Using clear evangelical theology and compelling narratives drawn from two decades of global ministry and travel, Ken Wytsma, the founder of The Justice Conference, shows God's unchanging love for all His children. On the way, the author calls us back to a proper understanding of biblical justice, a redeeming glimpse into the true meaning of righteousness and the remarkable connection between our own joy, the joy of others, and the wondrous Gospel of Jesus Christ. Pursuing Justice shows that God isn't primarily concerned with personal piety but about empowering His children to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with their creator. The message is as hopeful as it is fresh: when you discover anew the meaning of the Gospel and give your life away, you will find itand it will be the best life you can imagine.

Members Reviews: God, Life, and Happiness in the Pursuit of Justice "Even though we can't fix the world, we can certainly change it." In Pursuing Justice, Wytsma has assembled a fascinating hybrid of memoir, theology, sociology, history, and art. Always honest, authentic, and transparent, he bares his soul on his lifelong struggle to understand and imitate God's heart for justice and what he has learned along the way. With content you might not expect in a book about justice - there are chapters on happiness, worship, and the love of God - Pursuing Justice covers areas that are universal to human experience. As a result, it is universally relevant even to people who have never read a book on justice or spiritual growth or the meaning of life. Wytsma goes beyond justice and expands on how to find happiness and fulfillment as well as pursue and draw closer to God. Pursuing Justice is different than many of the other books on justice or theology I've read. It's not negative. It isn't a catalogue of atrocities going on the world. While Wytsma occasionally brings up some of the `trendier' justice issues, he keeps the focus on the reader's role in bringing justice to the world. He shies away from making every person responsible for solving every problem. Instead he encourages the reader to take their unique place in God's ever unfolding tapestry of justice. That might mean something drastic like moving to Africa to work with AIDS orphans, but - for most of us - probably looks more like staying home to be a good parent or being kind to the jerk who cuts us off on the freeway. Far from a dry discussion of justice or theology, this book is filled with anecdotes and personal stories, including Wytsma's spiritual journey and how he nearly partied himself to death in his twenties before he began to search for meaning and fulfillment.
