Review "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"The challenges facing our country and world are many. Daniel Darling, Dillon Burroughs, and Dan King provide thoughtful, biblically guided analysis of several of the most pressing issues of our day, challenging the church to let Scripture be our primary guide as we advocate for those who are vulnerable. Read this book, but don't stop there: Let it move you into prayerful action."- Matthew Soerens, U.S. church training specialist, World Relief; author of Welcoming the Stranger: Justice, Compassion, and Truth in the Immigration Debate"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"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 From the Back Cover The Bible doesn't call us to like or tweet about or even vote on human need and social problems. It calls us to act--to feed the hungry, visit prisoners, care for orphans, and bring good news to the poor.
