Publisher Description
From an endorsement by Christine MacMillan, World Evangelical Alliance Chair, WEA Global Human Trafficking Taskforce. The devotional commentary presents a thread line of Jim's insights weaving a mosaic of personal and skillful conviction. We are left considering what it means to live justice beyond a revolutionary tactic of self determination. The book is a tapestry of justice and character in harmonious colours of selected intention. We find ourselves heading into our own missionary journeys wanting to live right while righting wrongs.

That group is now up and running and Jim served as the first President of the Casey Multi-faith Network during 2007 and again more recently. Besides spending time with family (he has 4 adult children and 11 grandchildren), Jim also likes to go to the beach, go bush, get in a game of tenpin bowling, or watch a good movie.
