Synopsis

This 2nd edition of Making Life Right explores implications for our current confrontation globally with structural inequities and systematic injustices. Amidst all the conflicting voices of political and religious leaders, how do we discern God's way forward. What is the will of God for our lives and world. This book reviews seven clearly revealed dimensions of God's will. When we live out the will of God we know, it is far easier to discern the aspects of God's will that are unclear.Especially central to God's will for the troubled times in which we live is understanding the nature of justice. Confusion abounds. Is it simply enforcing the laws? Is justice in conflict with mercy--an either/or choice between leniency or fairness?Who decides what is just--those in power, or those who are victims of exploitation and the misuse of power?These brief reflections explore a central text in the Bible, Micah 6:8, in which God outlines the Great Requirement for the people of God: to do justice, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with God.Nearly all people want to live life well. We want to contribute to life being made right for others. The Hebrew Prophet Micah declares that God has shown us what is good, and what God requires of us.This short book offers reflections of the dimensions of God's will expressed in Micah 6:8: to do justice, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with God.
