A roadmap for social changehow to live meaningfully and faithfully in communities around the world.Speaking to a new generation of Christians who are not content with the comfortable faith of their parents, Christopher Heuertz shares an activist message for those who are looking for more: more social action, more advocacy for those who can't speak for themselves, and a more global worldview toward those in need. In this beautiful and thoughtful book, activist Christopher Heuertz writes of the dangers of isolation, the longings we all have to belong to one another, the challenges we face when we join together, and the struggles and joys that emerge from genuine community bonding. And, Heuertz says, the purpose of a healthy community is to express their desires for more by becoming involved with those who have less. Whether readers are forming a new community, searching for deeper community, or participating in a long-time community, they will find inspiration, caution, guidance, and encouragement in this tender testimony about how we are "woven together by grace."
