Description

How would the world’s perception of Christians—therefore its perception of Christ—change if our way of doing justice work was as important as the end result? In Closer to the Edge, explore the heart of what it means to do justice, love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God in the world (Micah 6:8). The narrative style of this practical resource guides you into deeper biblical reflections. “The way you treat the person you love the least is the way you love God the most,” says Ron Ruthruff. Scholar, professor, author, and street minister Ruthruff offers solid evidence proving how embracing this thesis will radically transform how you interact with the world around you . . . and soon you will walk in such a way that you love the world sacrificially.

Advance Praise

“If you made Jesus be on the staff of an American church, what would he do there? I think he would do what Ron Ruthruff does, and writes about in this book.”--Dale Sewall, President, Union University of California.



“Dr. Ruthruff takes us through an amazing journey of self-reflection in our walk with God. His willingness to be vulnerable and share his own challenges is an open invitation to all of us to give ourselves grace for being human and at the same time he calls us to not rest when it comes to living out social justice. He had me hooked in the first chapter! I was laughing and crying within the first few chapters.”—Caprice D. Hollins, Psy.D.
