Jesus’ life and words move us to respond to poverty, injustice and exclusion with
compassion and action. This unique and original daily Christian liturgy is for people who want to take those words seriously in personal devotion, in our communities and in public life. It’s British, gritty and designed for contemplative activists with four main parts:
- A new presentation of the Beatitudes in today’s language – so Jesus words shape our daily lives;
- Daily Liturgy (with prayers for morning, midday and evening on a seven-day cycle including “body prayers” and times for quiet spiritual practices every day);
- Waymakers and Waymarkers, a 366-day calendar of people and events that bent the arc of British history towards justice;
- Bespoke Occasional Prayers written by activists for activists, to use at every kind of gathering.
Written by over 40 frontline ministers, leaders and activists, it’s a resource to use alone, in your community or WITH US! We will be LIVESTREAMING daily midweek pauses at 8am, using this resource, on our YouTube Channel from July (moving from our FaceBook page to make it easier for those avoiding social media to join us).
So if you pre-order the book and subscribe to our YouTube channel NOW you’ll be ready to join our online spiritual practice community in July.

What’s being said about it? Here’s feedback from those who’ve checked it out:
“Prayer isn’t a mechanism for escape; it’s a manifesto for engagement in a new world order. By focussing on the Beatitudes, this book reminds us that far from leaving us with a group of platitudes, Jesus issued a call to holy rebellion; to radical, prayerful practice. Living for Jesus & Justice gathers wisdom from those who have responded to that challenge. The result – a toolkit for contemplative activism. We’ll be using it in Oasis communities.” Steve Chalke
‘A great resource for individuals and communities seeking to join in God’s healing of all things, to breathe in before acting out.’ Jonny Baker
‘This book is both a breath of fresh air and a call to disciplined, liberated living, which is the invitation of Jesus to all of us. Take a deep breath and launch in.’ Sian Murray Williams
‘This invaluable resource is a gift to individuals and communities who long to integrate prayer into their lives of following the radical, life giving and transforming Jesus.’ Roy Searle
‘This exhilarating collection expresses the conviction [that] true prayer is not an alternative to action, rather it is the ground of all truly radical action.’ Bishop Michael Ipgrave
