Breaking the Broken: Debunking the Myth of Social Justice

by Rob Kendall

As a country, we spend billions on Social Justice Programs, but what are the results? Life is not getting better for those in poverty. The numbers continue to rise; leaving millions of hearts, families and communities enslaved to a degrading system. In the war on poverty, poverty has won. The benefits of social justice are a myth. The experiment has failed, but God has a plan. God s Plan offers dignity, restoration and hope. He established His Plan in the Garden of Eden and used it throughout Scripture to restore, The least of these. God does not call us to Social Justice, He calls us to love and heal the broken. Whether you re in full-time, part-time or volunteer in ministry this book is for you. You will learn about God s Plan, find examples of it in action, see the hope that it brings, and gain insight on how to implement God s Plan in your own communities. This book will better equip you to represent Christ to the lost and heal the broken.

[Michael · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a very straightforward book that challenged many of my assumptions about the poor and our efforts (as individuals, as a society, and as churches) to help them. It's not the most polished book because it is not written by a professional author, but it is completely readable and communicates all of Kendall's ideas clearly. I'm giving it five stars because in my opinion the book accomplishes exactly what it intends, and does so in a brisk, organized manner.

Based on the title you might expect the book to be divisive or political, but I was pleased to find that was not the case at all.

Breaking the Broken tackled a tricky, and unpopular, Christian topic with dignity and honesty. Rob Kendall exposed how Christians too often want to do good on their individual schedule. Through his personal ministry experiences he shows the benefits and pitfalls of mission work in underserved communities. The truth is social justice is hard! The book reveals errors, successes and best practices for sustainable missions that produce results. The strength is not in the theory, nor the scripture. It is revealing the scar tissue involved in loving the least of us in America!
