Prayerful, Taizé-style chants
A mesmerizing Taizé-style song, "Meditation" uses a repeating refrain ("Jesus, precious Savior") to lead worshipers into an ever-deepening place of prayer. Singing "Shout Praise," an infectious gospel-style song, you can't help but do what it says: everybody clap your hands, lift high your voice and stand up and shout, let the world know you are saved.

Grand hymns, jazzy psalms
Especially appropriate for Easter season, the title track is a grand, traditional-style hymn, complete with parts for full choir, piano, brass, timpani and strings. An impressive horn section—saxophone, trumpet, trombone—and rock ensemble back the gospel choir on the jazzy "Psalm 147/Alleluia."

Ethereal funeral music, classic gospel songs
Arranged for choir and organ, "Song of Farewell" is a breathtaking new setting for funeral liturgies. Everyone will recognize the classic gospel hymn "Down by the Riverside" and its familiar refrain, "aint gonna study war no more." It appears here in a new arrangement by Rick Modlin.

Great for praise and prayer, retreats, missions and liturgy
Designed for use in praise and prayer, retreats, missions and liturgy, these songs offer a message of hope—hope in Christ, the Morning Star, who has broken the darkness forever.

A classic work -- completely revised
This revised edition of a classic work examines a variety of social justice issues and provides a scriptural basis -- and some much-needed encouragement and practical advice -- for building a fruitful ministry of social justice. Well known for his passionate preaching style and his songs, workshops and missions in defense of social justice, Grayson doesn't pull any punches in this text, making a strong call to action.

Solutions based on experience
As he states in the foreword, "The world is a tough place to live in these days. There seems to be more uncertainty, and less security, than ever before... People are understandably frightened, angry, and confused... It would seem that many of the answers we come up with for dealing with today's troubles don't necessarily work in the twenty-first century." Wizened by his years serving the less fortunate and marginalized in inner city parishes, Grayson offers proven answers.

Updated to address recent issues and events
Updated to address recent national and international issues and events, God's Liberating Justice makes inspiring reading for parish social justice committees, pastors, those involved in social justice ministries and outreach, and all who "hunger and thirst for righteousness."
