The Micah Mandate: Balancing the Christian Life

Rating:
Summary: Do you need balance?
Review: I was blessed to receive a signed copy of this book as an ordination gift from one of our elders. It has been quite a treat to read.

In this popular work, Grant's purpose is for the Christian community to import true, Biblical balance into the life of the church. Some Christians are most concerned with social issues; others are most concerned with spiritual issues. Grant's thesis is that both of these positions are unbiblical because they lack the balance of the Micah mandate. The true Christian will seek to "do justice [and] love mercy [and] walk humbly with your God."

Grant develops each part of the Micah mandate (justice, mercy, and humility before God), imparting his vision for how the church might usher in the next reformation. Along the way, he provides wonderful, short biographies of "heroes of the city of God" who display the vaunted characteristics.
