Commending the book, Dr John Sentamu, Archbishop of York, writes, “Micah’s Challenge calls us as Christians to live out the kingdom values evident in our faith, to set free those captive to poverty, to release those bound by economic injustice, and to proclaim the abundance of God’s creation for the two-thirds of our world”.
