Resumen del Editor

"Only the power of Christ's crucifixion on the cross and the glory of his resurrection can heal the deep racial wounds in both Black and White people in America."

Here is a real-life story of the transforming power of Jesus Christ and one man's response to Jesus' call to love others.

John Perkins, founder of Voice of Calvary ministries, was born in New Hebron, Mississippi, in 1930. His family was made up of sharecroppers, and he grew up in grinding poverty, part of a system that preserved prejudice and racism. After his brother was killed, Perkins left Mississippi for California, where he found job opportunities, racism of another kind, and faith in Jesus Christ. He returned to Mississippi to share the gospel and help his own people find equality, justice, and economic independence through self-help cooperative efforts. And he made progress - too much progress.Everything came to a head early in 1970, when John Perkins and others went through an unbelievable night of torture at the hands of white law enforcement officers. Beaten almost to death, Perkins somehow survived and so did his work, which moves ahead today with a threefold strategy:

  • Biblical evangelism and Christian education
  • The kind of social action that should come out of knowing Jesus Christ as savior
  • Visible community development that is creating new models for Black housing, economic independence, education, and health care

Reality of our past...

The reality of our past influences our future. The reality of my past hasn’t informed me of the complete truth and impact of our American history. This truth had left me without and understanding of white and black racial divides. This book has and does help show the reasons for these and the implications of these traumas which were endured. I so desire to better understand the why’s of our culture and so appreciate hero’s like John Perkins sharing and teaching us as we seek to love one another and guide our nation in unity!

Perkins Deserves Recognition As "Author Of Wisdom"

I met John Perkins at Fresno Pacific University. The content of his Address to the students held my full attention and never left my heart, mind and spirit. John's actions throughout his life are not to be ignored. I have kept tabs on John Perkins ever since.

Learning much later in John Perkins lifestyle, that Shane Claiborne had teamed up with John, in many of John's endeavors proofed that John Perkin's wisdom works as a drawing force to attract the best people toward God's economy.

Now, John Perkins and Shane Claiborne, together, create a synergistic Spiritual force that is necessary to experience. Read and listen to everything either of them authors.

Let Justice Roll Down gifts us with provocative segments of John Perkins life, and lets us in to his thought processes that are rich in provision. Learn from him.

I found his explanation of racism to be the most logically thought out of any who have bothered to try to understand its ugly facts. John Perkins lived inside the belly of the beast of Racism, suffered through the damage at the hands of those who pledge allegiance to its heinous power, and came out scarred yet wiser for it all. John Perkins is a man who espouses love in the face of a world caught up in the claws of hate.

I recommend listening to the Audible, first, because it captures John Perkins in history. Then you will want to refer to the book or Kindle in order to have the many important thoughts of wisdom in writing. Share John Perkins and Shane Claiborne everywhere.

John Perkins gave his all for justice

I loved the readers voice. He sounds like John himself. John Perkins accomplished many things toward bringing justice and equality to Mississippi and California and the whole US. I was privileged to live and work in Mendenhall for a week and see some of the progress toward education at the school and economic progress in the town. Then he went on to even greater achievements in other places including the voting rights law. There is still much to do. This book is great and really inspired me to get to work and do what I can.
