On Earth as in Heaven
Justice Rooted in Spirituality By Arthur Paul Boers
Do we touch God and meet Jesus in a church or a soup kitchen? In a monastery or on skid row? In a Bible camp or a housing project? In heaven or on earth?
Such distinctions are false, says Arthur Paul Boers. We can't experience God in heaven without loving the needy on earth. Nor can we truly love the needy on earth if not empowered by God in heaven.
Author - Arthur Paul Boers
Foreword - Eugene H. Peterson
"Too often personal spirituality and social justice pass each other as ships in the night. Based on biblical insights and rich personal experience, Arthur Boers creatively links them together in true biblical fashion." —Donald B. Krayhill, author of The Upside-Down Kingdom
"Boers attests to the huge necessities of worship and prayer in our lives. He shares his much-tested conviction that a contemplative life is not an alternative to—but the root and foundation of—active life." —from the Foreword by Eugene H. Peterson, author and former pastor of Christ Our King Presbyterian Church
