Dirty Faith

David Z. Nowell Β· 2014
78/100
πŸ‘ Worth It

Nowell writes from the inside of a ministry serving sex-trafficked and street children in Brazil, and that firsthand authority makes the call to action land with real force. The theological argument β€” that serving the least of these is not optional but a biblical mandate β€” is clear and grounded in Scripture, and the first-hand accounts give it an emotional weight that desk-bound advocacy books often lack. The subject matter is heavy, but for mission-minded Christians who want to be challenged rather than reassured, this delivers.
