From the front flap of this 205-page book: "In 'A Mile Wide', Hatmaker invites those of us tired of living Sunday to Sunday, exhausted by a mile-wide-but-an-inch-deep religion, to gain a fresh perspective on everything we think we know about faith - from identity to discipleship to community to doing justice and more. By taking a second look at how the gospel works in us and continues to work through us, we will find it has the power to change everything."

<p>The Justice Primer: An 8-week Guide to Serving Through Community by Brandon Hatmaker Everyone's talking about social action and justice in the world. And for the first time in a long while, the Western church is looking for something designed to collectively point people outward and to give them a platform to do so together in community. The Justice Primer (previously titled The Barefoot Primer), is designed to be your guide on the journey of "learning to do right." It leads participants on a practical 8-week journey to put mission back into your small group or faith community. It's designed to help existing groups and churches begin or continue their journey toward being missional. If you desire to relearn the posture required to become missionaries in your context, and to equip others to engage culture through engaging the needs around them, The Justice Primer is your pilot. One of the most difficult parts in serving the least is getting started. We muster up the energy and willpower, but too often get stalled out with the details, easily forgetting the critical step of preparation. The Justice Primer is designed in such a way to walk you through each phase of the journey one step at a time.</p>

People are hungry to make a difference in their community, yet most don’t know where to start. In fact, “serving the least” is often one of the most neglected biblical mandates in the church.Barefoot Church shows listeners how today’s church can be a catalyst for individual, collective, and social renewal in any context. Whether pastors or laypeople, listeners will discover practical ideas that end up being as much about the Gospel and personal transformation as they are about serving the poor. Here they will see how the organizational structure of the church can be created or redesigned for mission in any context.Drawing from his own journey, Brandon Hatmaker proves to listeners that serving the least is not a trendy act of benevolence but a lifestyle of authentic community and spiritual transformation. As Hatmaker writes, “My hope is that God would open our eyes more and more to the needs of our community. And that we would see it as the church’s responsibility to lead the charge.”

As cohost of HGTV’s My Big Family Renovation, Brandon Hatmaker understands what it takes to rehab a home. But as a pastor (and husband of bestselling author Jen Hatmaker), he’s more interested in rehabbing faith. And in A Mile Wide, he helps readers transform an anemic spiritual life based on a limited understanding of God into a faith of true depth, intimacy, and power.  Offering fresh perspective on eight essentials of Christianity—the gospel, identity, scripture, discipleship, kingdom, mission, community, and justice—Hatmaker provides practical applications that tap into the richer life Christ promised his people, individually and as a community. God wants more than simply to save us: he’s also determined to transform us, restore us, and use us to reveal the coming of his kingdom right here, right now.
