Orphan Justice

Orphan Justice: How to Care for Orphans Beyond Adopting
By Johnny Carr, with Laura Captari (B&H)
A 2014 OUTREACH RESOURCE OF THE YEAR

God’s call to the church and Christ followers to respond to the needs of the world’s 153 million orphaned children is one that cannot be ignored. Carr tells with deep conviction and personal credibility of his heart’s own conversation toward caring for the least of these. Practical, relevant and with direction from Scripture, Carr leads readers into a moving account of vulnerable children and how Christian communities can make a difference by responding with God’s love to their needs. Carr challenges us to prayerfully seek spiritual breakthroughs in the lives of Christ followers who can make a difference and in the lives of children who are suffering under horrific conditions, vulnerable to trafficking, and living in physical and emotional crisis. There is desperate need. Christians must no longer be silent and instead must have the courage to act on behalf of poor and desperate children around the world. —Mae Elise Cannon, from the March/April 2014 issue of Outreach magazine
