Praying With Our Feet

At age twenty, Lindsey Krinks was on track to lead an upwardly mobile life. But a devastating injury and an unexpected encounter with a homeless organizing group disrupted her plans and opened her eyes to the immense suffering around her. Awakened to a fierce pursuit of justice and a faith that called her to “pray with her feet,” Krinks plunged into the underside of American society, where she found both staggering loss and astounding love.

As a street chaplain, activist, and cofounder of Open Table Nashville, Krinks has discovered faith in tent cities, alleys, slums, and on the frontlines of justice movements. Praying with Our Feet invites us on an unforgettable spiritual journey and encourages us to put our faith into action. Krinks challenges common perceptions about people who live on the streets, calling Christians to move from charity to justice and get their hands dirty in the struggle for a better world.

Readers who are overwhelmed by the world’s suffering but don’t know where to start will find much inspiration in this moving book. Includes end-of-chapter discussion questions.
