This book is a deeply thought-through reflection on social justice from a Catholic perspective. While Dr Ansel Augustine writes from a specific New Orleans context, the book is relevant for a much broader audience. I’m still reading this book, but so far have found it insightful and practical. It is not merely a discussion of principles of Catholic social justice, but a practical call to action. I have found the personal stories and action points particularly useful.

I loved this real world look at the Church's role in justice with a focus on racial and class division. The book is easy to read and provides real world ideas.

An interesting take on Catholic Social Teaching. Pope Francis would have loved this book. The author brings a unique perspective and though it is one I don't necessarily agree with on every level, especially where partisan politics can become divisive, I think this is a good book to be open to reading, considering and reflecting on a different perspective. After all, as Catholics, we are universal and we need to be open and receptive to different views and experiences. Organized somewhat as an Ignatian spiritual retreat over 4 weeks, this is a though provoking book. Touching on racial injustice, colonialism, ecology, topics that until Pope Francis did not receive as much dialogue as they deserve.
