This study helps us to reflect on God�s call to holiness and our response, the requirements of discipleship, and the lasting rewards of following the way of justice and peace. A good foundation for anyone growing in public discipleship and ideal for those already engaged in social outreach who want to develop a deeper spiritual and scriptural foundation. The study examines the teaching and ministry of Jesus as well as the call, life and message of several Old Testament prophets. Involvement in this study will provide deep insights into the consistent concern for justice in the Bible as well as stirring one�s conscience at it provides opportunities to explore how we and our communities of faith respond to the needs of others.
