About the Book

'Read this for the chapter on Hillsborough alone' JEREMY VINE 'Makes a powerful plea for the "earthing" of God's vision of justice' BARONESS HALE 'A plentiful source of comfort, strength and, most importantly, hope' ANDY BURNHAM For twenty-five years, Bishop James Jones has been working on the frontlines to try and create a more just and merciful world. In Justice for Christ's Sake, he reflects on the work he has been a part of and the ways in which justice and faith go hand in hand. With touching honesty, he tells of his time as a Bishop and his role on three key independent panels into matters of national conscience - including chairing the panel that investigated the Hillsborough Disaster of 1989, when ninety-six Liverpool football fans tragically lost their lives. All the dimensions of justice that James has experienced - environmental, social, racial, political and judicial - are vividly conveyed, as he offers up the lessons he has learned in his search for a better, fairer way to live and how the answers might be found in the teachings of Jesus. Justice for Christ's Sake is a remarkable and fascinating Christian memoir, that offers a unique perspective on some of the most significant inquiries of the last three decades. It is a book that encourages us all in our longing for justice, with insight born from first-hand experience, and will leave you with a better of understanding of events that have shaped conversations on justice in Britain. Most of us long deep down for a fairer world, however selfishly we may act on occasions. James Jones reassures us that we are not alone and that we can all be part of the fight for justice for Christ's sake.

About the Author :
James Jones served as Bishop of Hull (1994-98), Bishop of Liverpool (1998-2013), and Bishop to HM Prisons (2007-2013). He was appointed KBE in 2017 for services to the bereaved and to justice. He chaired the Hillsborough Independent Panel in 2009, the Independent Forestry Panel in 2012 and the Gosport Independent Panel in 2018. Bishop James is the author of With My Whole Heart and Jesus and the Earth (SPCK, 2012 and 2003 respectively).

Review :
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. 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. 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. 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. Utterly unpretentious . . . this book is about catharsis . . . it is a mirror on to the soul [with] an integrity and directness hard to match. A book quietly singing with reverence and relevance.
