Everyday Justice: 365 Reflections by Alan Talley and Scott Holzknecht, published by Saint Mary’s Press, 2009

This page-a-day devotional strives to bring Catholic social teaching to teens.  It features a daily quotation from the scriptures, a church document or an advocate of justice--including Wendell Berry, Desmond Tutu and Mother Teresa-- followed by a short reflection on the day’s quote, a very brief prayer and a thoughtful call to action.  The book is designed to increase our awareness of God’s call for justice and can be appreciated by both teens and adults.
