And Social Justice for All

"With the constant barrage of difficult stories through news and social media, today's kids are increasingly aware of the problems real people confront every day. And they're quicker than ever to come to parents and other trusted adults to ask how they can help -- or why they're not already doing so. Do you know how to answer their enthusiastic concerns? And Social Justice for All equips Christian families and ministry leaders to tackle social justice issues together and to bring light and love to a dark and scary world. Educator and mom Lisa Van Engen has created an innovative resource to engage kids in understanding -- and responding to -- fourteen justice issues including clean water, creation care, immigration and refugees, hunger, race, and poverty. After placing each issue in kid-friendly context, she offers interactive features, such as age-appropriate activities for reading, playing, observing, creating, connecting, and experimenting in God's world. She also facilitates space so that children can share their own thoughts about injustice and how they think God is calling them to take action with conversation starters, devotionals, and trustworthy internet links for further exploration. By looking at both the roots of injustice and what Christians can do right now to help, And Social Justice for All empowers the next generation to encounter a broken world with insight and empathy. Simple yet powerful, it lights the path for young and old to make a real, God-directed difference together"--Back cover
