When We Stand: The Power of Seeking Justice Together by Terence Lester & Father Gregory Boyle

The injustices in the world can easily leave us feeling helpless. We may struggle to know where to begin or doubt whether we have anything meaningful to contribute. Yet when we join forces and combine our unique gifts, we achieve far more collectively than we ever could alone.

Activist Terence Lester understands how daunting global change can seem. But when we unite and take action, we gain the strength to accomplish what would be impossible as solitary individuals. Lester examines the barriers that hold us back from engagement and provides actionable steps for making an impact—whether in groups, families, churches, or communities. He guides us in identifying our role in the bigger story, helping us recognize how we’re each called to contribute in distinct ways. As we connect with those around us and step into our own paths of service, we begin to follow Christ differently—and see God’s work in the world with fresh eyes.

True unity and fellowship make the gospel’s power tangible. In a fractured world, the body of Christ has the potential to reshape society—but only if we stand as one.
