It's not every day that you get a visit from God. Burning bushes,
ladders to heaven, chariots of fire and all that--we look for those
stories in the Bible, and we look for them in our lives. When it
comes to something as important as what we do with our lives, we
think, maybe God owes us a big event. But, as Leroy Barber has
learned through his work in inner cities and with young people,
that's not usually how it works. More often God calls out to us
from everyday misfortunes and all-too-common injustices, and he
invites our response--not just a response in the moment, but a
recognition that we have a role to play in seeing God's kingdom
come, God's will done, on earth as it is in heaven. Through the
surprisingly normal stories of the heroes of faith in the Bible,
and through Barber's experiences with Mission Year and other
ministries, in this book you'll learn what it means to change the
world from your own little space in it.
