All around us there are signs of a broken world, situations that are just not right. Where do we begin? Sometimes we simply don't know what to do. Or maybe you are busy 'doing' and it's tough, even bringing you close to burn out.

Whether you are new to activism or already on the road, this book will (re)kindle your hope and illuminate the way ahead.

Featuring contributions from Shane Claiborne, Lisa Sharon Harper, Krish Kandiah, Sam Wells and many more, The Hopeful Activist is full of fresh wisdom and practical advice to help you play your part in bringing God's justice and restoration to the world around you.

About the Author

Richard Gower (Author) Rich Gower has spent twenty years wrestling with what it means to really love and really live in this broken world. He worked on international negotiations for the UK government before escaping from the civil service (via Oxfam), and then working at the grassroots in Zimbabwe, and later Bradford. He now co-leads Tearfund's policy and advocacy work on plastics and waste. He launched the Hopeful Activists' Podcast in 2019 (alongside Abi Thomas) as part of the Praxis Centre for Hope and Activism. Rachel Walker (Author) Rachel Walker has spent her life trying to figure out what following Jesus looks like. In recent years she has been increasingly captivated by God's heart for justice and the hope and joy he gives in the most challenging circumstances. Having worked in communications for an international Christian charity and spent a while as a freelance Comms specialist (through which she joined the Hopeful Activists' team), she now works for a Church of England parish in Islington, London.
