Praying with Our Feet: Pursuing Justice and Healing on the Streets Paperback - 2021

From the rear cover

"Read. Be challenged. Act."

Street chaplain, activist, and nonprofit leader Lindsey Krinks takes readers on a spiritual journey to the margins of American society and to the front lines of social justice movements, calling people of faith and conscience to get their hands dirty in the struggle for a better world.

"I wholeheartedly say amen to Praying with Our Feet. The continued growth of poverty and homelessness in the richest country in the world is a moral failing and a social sin. The story Lindsey Krinks tells in her book is one of an important and needed ministry of work with the poor and homeless."
--Willie Baptist, activist, educator, author, and formerly homeless father

"I took up this book expecting a study of the integration of action and contemplation. What I was delighted to find was a superbly written story about the life-forming experiences that brought Krinks to such integration."
--Paul Quenon, Abbey of Gethsemani; author of In Praise of the Useless Life: A Monk's Memoir

"Our world desperately needs not only our caring but also our actions to heal and to continue to point us to the new heaven and new earth where justice and love find their home. This is a powerful book of stories that will keep you reading. Read. Be challenged. Act."
--Emilie M. Townes, dean and distinguished professor of womanist ethics and society, Vanderbilt University Divinity School

"Thoughtfully crafted and powerfully told, Praying with Our Feet is a story of a movement growing from those who are homeless but not helpless coming together to demand dignity, life, and change. I thank Krinks for treating the lives and wounds of so many of God's people as serious and sacred, and for recognizing these people as moral and political agents of change."
--Liz Theoharis, cochair, Poor People's Campaign; codirector, Kairos: The Center for Religions, Rights, and Social Justice, Union Theological Seminary
