EBOOK
The world is not as God intends it to be. God's heart is to make things right, and for the world to be just. But complex problems warrant more sustained attention than quick posts on social media. How can we actually make a difference?
Activist Mae Elise Cannon takes us beyond the hashtags to serious engagement with real issues. God calls the church to respond substantively to the needs of the poor, the realities of racial inequity, and the mistreatment of women and the marginalized. We can accomplish change through a range of strategic avenues—spiritually, socially, legally, politically, and economically. And addressing the domestic and international injustices of our day takes us on a journey of spiritual transformation that brings us closer to God and those around us.
Channel your passion to care effectively for your neighbor and the world. This book will help you understand and put into action what it means for the church to be a place of peace, justice, and hope.
"With all that is happening in the world, there has never been a more critical time for this important book! In Beyond Hashtag Activism, Mae Cannon brings her years of experience and expertise to call us beyond concern to an authentic commitment to racial justice, gender equity, and global hope. This book is a very practical resource for anyone who wants to actively participate in God's story of reconciliation and social healing. I highly recommend it!"
"Dr. Cannon deftly navigates many big issues—such as poverty, justice, and climate change—and shows the interplay between these complex problems. Often, justice issues are treated in isolation, and people must choose which is the most urgent. But Cannon shows the delicate interplay between various justice issues like poverty, race, climate change, and gender justice. Each chapter provides tangible next steps for Christians who want to put their convictions into meaningful action."
"In my fifty years of being an activist pastor, this is the best resource I've read to equip individuals and congregations for improved discussion and strategies on important issues. Dr. Cannon is not only a credible theologian, she's a skillful writer who keeps us engaged and learning, even from those with whom we disagree. Kingdom thinking takes in truth from everywhere to make real progress anywhere."
"I have known Dr. Rev. Mae Elise Cannon a long time, and she is eminently qualified to speak on this important and broad subject matter. Mae has a deep love of Scripture, commitment to the church, and resolution to pursue justice in all arenas. In Beyond Hashtag Activism, Mae carefully explores growing divisions within evangelicalism within the realm of justice, and she develops an interdisciplinary and intersectional approach for exploring justice—at both a global and domestic level. This book will grow your understanding, deepen your resolve, and send you into the world as a more effective ambassador for justice."
