‘A great book. Many people have addressed this subject, few have done it with such biblical eloquence and elegance.’ ‘ Michael Ramsden, European Director, RZIM Zacharias Trust For years Simon has been absorbed by the quest for a truly Spirit-filled life. But he has realized that this is only the start: the truly Spirit-filled life is one that has a heart for the marginalized ‘ looking outward rather than inward. Justice, he writes, is -God’s delight-. The more we imitate Jesus, the more we will focus our hearts and minds on spreading justice. Jesus was a leper lover: who today is marginalized? Jesus had time for the poor: what is our responsibility? Jesus called for justice: how do we intercede? This is a passionate, luminous book, filled with revealing stories and cogent argument. -Masterful – combines a profound knowledge of Scripture, brilliant theology, and deep insight into the human condition.- – Dr Lucy Peppiatt , church planter and systematic theologian -Ponsonby has done it again! You miss this book at your peril. Read it. Do it.- ‘ Patrick Mc Donald, Executive Director, Viva ‘Simon’s compelling exploration of justice and mercy is rich fare indeed. It is a feast of truth, served up in tenderness.’ – Anita Cleverly, Ask Prayer Network, Senior Leadership Team, St Aldates Oxford
