Okay to be honest - I’m not one to pick up a study on justice. I was pretty hesitant, thinking it was just for people passionate about social justice and would be too harsh and convicting. I was wrong!! SO blown away! Brooke Jackson is the gentlest author for this topic! I genuinely walked away wanting to love the people around me like Jesus in a fresh way I haven’t experienced before. So if you’re hesitant, take a chance on this one - so worth it!!

I recently finished reading "Just", by Brooke Jackson. It is an inspirational book that I enjoyed thoroughly. The way that she was able to relate the injustices that are occurring in our world to similar instances in the Bible made me look at my own perception of how I perceive and treat others and react to the issues that are happening in the world today. I really enjoyed the personal stories of her own family that she shared in the book also. I read the book first, and I am now in the process of answering the questions that she poses. It is helping to give me a greater understanding of the Bible which is something I personally needed.

I can't say enough good things about "Just" by Brooke Jackson. The title alone says it all: it's JUST amazing, inspirational, and insightful. Brooke Jackson writes with a rare combination of biblical insight and humility grounded humanity. Her voice is down to earth and relatable, weaving narratives from her own life and experience alongside sound, biblically grounded perspectives that keep Christ at the center of every reflection. The way she explores justice through the words and actions of Jesus is both accessible and spiritually rich. And the time she allows for personal reflection allowed space for the Holy Spirit to reveal so many things that I had never thought to explore.
Because this devotional is thoughtful, challenging, and deeply encouraging, I was excited to read this book. I ended up buying and sharing several copies because I believe in its message that much. If you know anyone interested in being a better human, social justice, law, or simply following the example of Christ, this is a fantastic and worthwhile read.
Buy several ... you will want to share!
