Reviews
Bishop James makes a powerful plea for the "earthing" of God's vision of justice. Drawing on his own experiences of listening to the victims of the Hillsborough disaster, of ministering to the people of Liverpool and Hull, of chairing the Independent Panel on Forestry, and much, much more, he shows us how we all share the same vision of justice - for the victims of wrongdoing, for the future of the planet, for all manner of people. But to justice we need also to bring mercy and compassion for the vision to be truly fulfilled. A good read indeed. -- Baroness Hale, Former President of the Supreme Court (on Justice for Christ's Sake)
Essential reading for anybody feeling lost on the lonely search for justice . . . As we wait for change, and for the scales of justice to be evened up by a Hillsborough Law, we can see in the pages of this book how faith can rise above the legal and political fray and bring healing. It is not only the people of Liverpool or Hull who owe Bishop James Jones a debt of thanks; it is the entire nation. -- Andy Burnham, Mayor of Greater Manchester (on Justice for Christ's Sake)
James has given us a series of pen portraits from his life, but they are much more than that. They take us to the heart of his spiritual journey, and we follow him in a lifetime of learning and understanding. A most powerful book - the richest kind of testimony, where nothing is held back. -- Jeremy Vine, broadcaster and journalist (on Justice for Christ's Sake)
Bishop James Jones has unique experience and insight into key issues of justice which have affected people here in the UK and more widely. Drawing on his faith and reflecting on those insights he reminds us not only of the negative impact of injustice, but also the positive and life-affirming effect of justice and leads our thinking to a way forward to provide justice for all. -- The Rt Hon Theresa May MP, Prime Minister 2016-18 (on Justice for Christ's Sake)
Utterly unpretentious . . . this book is about catharsis . . . it is a mirror on to the soul [with] an integrity and directness hard to match. * Church Times (on With My Whole Heart) *
A book quietly singing with reverence and relevance. * Christianity (on With My Whole Heart) *
