'Read this for the chapter on Hillsborough alone' JEREMY VINE 'Makes a
powerful plea for the "earthing" of God's vision of justice' BARONESS
HALE 'A plentiful source of comfort, strength and, most importantly,
hope' ANDY BURNHAM For twenty-five years, Bishop James Jones has been
working on the frontlines to try and create a more just and merciful
world. In Justice for Christ's Sake, he reflects on the work he has
been a part of and the ways in which justice and faith go hand in
hand. With touching honesty, he tells of his time as a Bishop and his
role on three key independent panels into matters of national
conscience - including chairing the panel that investigated the
Hillsborough Disaster of 1989, when ninety-six Liverpool football fans
tragically lost their lives. All the dimensions of justice that James
has experienced - environmental, social, racial, political and
judicial - are vividly conveyed, as he offers up the lessons he has
learned in his search for a better, fairer way to live and how the
answers might be found in the teachings of Jesus. Justice for Christ's
Sake is a remarkable and fascinating Christian memoir, that offers a
unique perspective on some of the most significant inquiries of the
last three decades. It is a book that encourages us all in our longing
for justice, with insight born from first-hand experience, and will
leave you with a better of understanding of events that have shaped
conversations on justice in Britain. Most of us long deep down for a
fairer world, however selfishly we may act on occasions. James Jones
reassures us that we are not alone and that we can all be part of the
fight for justice for Christ's sake.
