Author: Mae Elise Cannon

“In her new book, Social Justice Handbook, Mae Elise Cannon provides a comprehensive, historical overview of individuals and organizations that have effectively influenced others to take action on issues of social justice. There should be no question about the role and responsibility of the body of Christ to care for the poor and needy, as over two thousand Scripture references clearly indicate the heart of God and his mandate to us as believers. As well as providing the historical background of many life-changing causes, Cannon lists small steps that we can each take to actively live out our faith in tangible, practical ways as advocates for Christ and his work here on earth.” Dr. Wess Stafford, president and CEO, Compassion International “People often ask me for resources on what they can do about injustice in the world. Now I can point them to Mae Cannon’s Social Justice Handbook. This guide is packed full of resources and ideas for following the God of justice both at home and around the globe.” Gary A. Haugen, president and CEO, International Justice Mission, author, Good News About Injustice and Just Courage “‘The Lord . . . was displeased that there was no justice. . . . He was appalled that there was no one to intervene’ (Isaiah 59:15-16). Churches have engaged in evangelism, teaching and compassion for years, while we have sat on the sidelines of justice. Mae moves us . . . from feet that are frozen to walking, from a framework to a path, and from inspiration to hard work and action. This is the most comprehensive and compelling work I’ve read on justice. This book has the potential to make our churches into the unstoppable forces God intended them to be, with justice for all.” Nancy Ortberg, author of Looking for God: An Unexpected Journey Through Tattoos, Tofu and Pronouns “Mae Cannon’s passion, compassion and theological strength of calling as an advocate for the ‘least of these’ leaps off of every page of the Social Justice Handbook. This book informs the average follower of Christ and the Christian leader alike to act as Jesus would in the face of injustice. Mae’s call for action convicts us all to do something for Christ’s sake. Every Christian needs this book within arm’s reach.” Dr. David Anderson, senior pastor, Bridgeway Community Church, and author of Gracism “This is a cookbook for plotting goodness and stirring up holy mischief. Take a look and find a recipe for revolution. Then let us take it to the streets—interrupting injustice with grace, surprising the world with joy and whispering God’s love to a broken world.” Shane Claiborne, activist, author and lover, www.thesimpleway.org “Social Justice Handbook is a long overdue work. Despite the resurgence of interest in justice by many churches, there has been a noticeable lack of available resources on this topic. Mae Cannon gives us the biblical framework that can spur churches to action as well as giving us practical tips and real-life models and examples of how justice can be lived out in our world. For any individual, Christian fellowship or church wanting to grow in the area of biblical social justice, this is the book you want to get.” Soong-Chan Rah, Milton B. Engebretson Assistant Professor of Church Growth and Evangelism, North Park Theological Seminary, and author of The Next Evangelicalism
