Endorsements
"Twenty-first-century Christ followers stand committed to reconciling the vertical and horizontal planes of the Cross: sanctification with service, holiness with humility, conviction with compassion, and righteousness with justice. In Activist Faith, the authors exhort us to find a cause greater than ourselves, one that marries the promise of salvation with prophetic activism. For a generation seeking to live out our faith, this book is a must-read."
– Rev. Samuel Rodriguez, president, National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference
"This generation has more tools than ever before to help them live generously. Activist Faith explores the fundamental connection between the desire to engage in the world and the realities of what it will cost. More than anything else, it empowers you to do good work for the sake of the gospel."
– Mike Rusch, COO, PureCharity.com
"As Christians, we are called to make a positive impact on our world--to make it a better place. Activist Faith is one of those amazing resources that educate people on the issues and equips them to make a difference. A must-read!"
– Jen Hatmaker, author of 7: An Experimental Mutiny Against Excess
"There has been a huge need for a book to give the theological background for why Christians should engage in social justice. Activist Faith fits that need perfectly. It provides solid biblical reasons we should care about the poor, immigrants, and modern-day slaves as well as practical steps for how to take action."
– Sean McDowell, educator; speaker; author of Apologetics for a New Generation
