I highly recommend
that you read Let Justice Roll Down by John Perkins, as it not only
epitomizes redemption, reconciliation and strength, but it embodies the
transforming power of Jesus Christ. Perkins, the founder of Voice of Calvary
ministries, grew up in New Hebron, Mississippi as a son of a sharecropping
family; constantly privy to the system of racism and prejudice. Through his
various trials and tribulations—ranging from his brother’s death, to enduring a
brutal beating at the hands of white law enforcement officers, Perkins was able
to understand that only the power of Christ’s crucifixion on the cross and the
glory of his resurrection could heal the deep racial wounds in both black and
white people of America. This book takes you on an incredible journey of this
man’s faith, while also teaching us important lessons of evangelism and the
kind of social action that should come from accepting Christ as our Savior. - Katherine Bogue, CPC intern
