Social justice in the Old Testament: Second and third chapters (in draft!)

I've finished the second chapter in my book on social justice in the Old Testament, and am half-way through the third chapter. Read both below, or my first chapter here.

If you have any experience self-publishing a book, including marketing, editing, and formatting tips, please share your best practices! My goal is to create something that I'll be proud of and that will add something to our collective understanding of God's principles of justice and righteousness, and the Christian role in advocating those principles.

The second chapter covers the motives for Christians to get involved in political advocacy; those being dictates of conscience and a desire for the general welfare of society.

The third chapter begins an exposition of the social justice provisions in the Mosaic Law, notably stipulations governing day labor, harvesting, tithes, debt-cancellation, and the famed Year of Jubilee.
