Join the Resistance: Step into the Good Work of Kingdom Justice

Review
"Michelle Warren has learned from personal experience how drawing near to those who hunger for justice can bring us closer to God and God's dream for our lives. Join the Resistance is a gift to those who've sensed that the Spirit is stirring in the streets, inviting us to follow Jesus among neighbors crying aloud for their lives. Receive the gift, and join the resistance in Jesus' name." -- Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove, author of Revolution of Values: Reclaiming Public Faith for the Common Good
"Recent years have revealed a new generation of women and men who are ready to defy injustice. But how do we move from passion about justice to participation in the day-to-day work for justice? Drawing from the experience of her years of collaborative advocacy and the wisdom of the biblical prophets, Michelle Warren offers us an accessible vision for how each of us―no matter our social location―can join the beautiful resistance." -- David Swanson, pastor and author of Rediscipling the White Church
"Michelle Warren gets the message of the gospel. She has lived among the oppressed and understands their struggles. In Join the Resistance she gives us insight into what is needed to overcome the forces that stop the church from standing for our oppressed sisters and brothers." -- Carlos L. Malavé, director of the Latino Christian National Network
"Join the Resistance is more than one woman's reflection on her own journey toward racial advocacy. It is testimony to the Spirit's power to transform and use a surrendered life, and a road map for those seeking a way out of supremacist practice into co-conspiracy with God toward the shalom that is only found in justice." -- Donna Barber, cofounder and executive director of the Voices Project, author of Bread for the Resistance: Forty Devotions for Justice People
"Those who have been stepping into the troubled waters to resist racial injustice and division with the light of Christ can help us all know where to go. Michelle is one of those light-shining kinds of people. She has been stepping into good work that actively repairs and restores what is broken at every level, from individual restoration and social justice transformation to the work of dismantling systemic injustice. She helps shine this light on a new, necessary way forward in this book. She does not leave people with an imperative to go and do without showing us a way." -- Latasha Morrison, founder and CEO of Be the Bridge and author of Be the Bridge: Pursuing God's Heart for Racial Reconciliation, from the foreword
"This book clarifies what faithful allyship entails. True allyship requires consistency, humility, perseverance, and a conscious dependence on the Holy Spirit. Faithful allyship is never about showing up to impart preconceived solutions. It necessitates listening, learning, and serving in all the unglamorous ways that garner no headlines. . . . This book gives allies marching orders and explains what it looks like to heed Scripture's call to be ambassadors of reconciliation and repairers of the breach." -- Dominique DuBois Gilliard, author of Rethinking Incarceration and Subversive Witness, from the afterword
"Join the Resistance is a call for the people of God to live their beliefs in a way that makes the heart of God tangible in our world. Michelle Warren speaks out of her experience and does so humbly. Her prophetic words do not demand we do more, but they help us see that by joining the resistance we will find the kind of life Jesus came to give, which is 'life to full.'" -- Michael Hidalgo, lead pastor of Denver Community Church and host of The Changing Faith Podcast
"In Join the Resistance, Michelle Warren inspires readers to act at a time when it's most needed. Social justice movements sometimes stall when people don't know what they can do to help. Warren uses her own intriguing personal journey and a collection of historical anecdotes to show how we all have the capability to do extraordinary things. This
