About this ebook

It's easy to feel overwhelmed by all of the injustices that we see in the world. We don't know what to do and might think that we don't have anything to offer. But by using our gifts in collaboration with others, we can do more together than we ever could on our own.

Activist Terence Lester knows it's hard to change the world. But mobilizing and acting together empowers us to do what we can't do as isolated individuals. Lester looks at the obstacles that prevent us from getting involved, and he offers practical ways that we can accomplish things together as groups, families, churches, and communities. He helps us find our place in the larger picture, discerning the unique ways we can contribute and make a difference. By connecting with our neighbors and discovering our own paths of service, we can drastically change how we follow Christ and see God moving in the world.

Togetherness and community give visible testimony of the power of the gospel. In this broken world, the body of Christ can transform society—when we stand together.

I'm beginning to see there are a lot more ways that people have been separated other than just color and religion and following the word of God I know we are all equal God is not a respecter of persons he is a respecter of the heart I'm enjoying your book immensely I'm hoping to be able to finish it and change direction in my life I always felt that I had everything I needed I'm fine by myself I've recently reached out started talking to people because I was staying home and just being with my family after my husband passed and just staying here and my mother passed and I felt like I was in as you say in a bubble couldn't get out of it I couldn't see past it and felt like I was going nowhere I started to work in a food bank and seeing how people live on the other side of the tracks not necessarily liking it but realizing they needed somebody to love on them and in doing so I realize that I also needed that even though I thought I had everything I've now met someone I don't know if it's forever but in Jesus name it's worth the walk
