Description
Hope into Action, a charity founded by Ed Walker, has a vision - of the Church at the forefront of the fight against homelessness. Since 2010 it has worked in partnership with churches to supply homes, support, friendship and love for the homeless and marginalised, earning th Guardian's Public Service Award in 2017 and an award from the Centre for Social Justice.
Here, Ed tells his story of faith and struggle as he and his wife Rachel stepped out in faith, developed a new theology of sharing and saw both tragic and wonderful outcomes. Visionary, inspiring and touching, Ed;s experiences show how we can meet and grow in Christ as we interact with those in teh shadows and those hidden in darkness.
"I’ve admired Hope into Action for some time not least because it has a holistic depth to it. This book both highlights the needs in our country and inspires us to realise we can actually do something. My hope is, this important writing will challenge and encourage people and churches right across the country."
- Rt Revd Rowan Williams, Baron Williams of Oystermouth, former Archbishop of Canterbury
"I highly recommend this book. It links the local church with the homeless community and with some of the most broken. This book will build faith, encourage perseverance and could even be a transforming tool to encourage more people to fulfil the good works which God has called them to do."
- Roy Crowne, Executive Director, Hope Together
