I love any time I can experience the faith of Dorothy Day. Her radical service of the poor is something I struggle to embrace and this book helped me male steps to embrace it

Colin Miller is the closest person to a saint that I know, and his insights in this book are the product of years of study and lived experience. He winsomely and convincingly argues for a much more beautiful and satisfying account of the Gospel than is usually on offer, stressing that the heart of our salvation in Christ is to be found in the sacramental practices of close-knit local Catholic communities living in friendship with the poor. This is a book that every Christian, and certainly every Catholic, needs to read and then read again.

We Are Only Saved Together is unsettling. Colin Miller invites us to reconsider how we do life as Christ followers, focusing on the traditions of the Catholic Worker Movement. He tells the story of his own journey establishing and living in a hospitality house, sharing his life with people who were previously homeless. Because of his experience, this book does not view ‘voluntary poverty’ through rose-tinted glasses. There are realistic descriptions of conflict and forgiveness, of financial stress and failed plans. Practical ideas are interwoven with deep theological thought. Be warned – this book is a challenging invitation to change your way of living, in whatever way God is leading you.

Writer and activist Dorothy Day paved the way for a movement that exists to this day--one built on solidarity with the disenfranchised and downtrodden.

Day's incredible vision for society finds a keen ally in Colin Miller, the author of the powerhouse new book, We Are Only Saved Together: Living the Revolutionary Vision of Dorothy Day and the Catholic Worker Movement.

An antidote to the isolation, materialism, and coarseness that all too often characterize our culture, the Catholic Worker Movement springs from the notion that we can all learn a great deal from one another, and that we should extend hospitality to the unhoused and marginalized within our midst.

Miller does an incredible job of portraying what a life lived for others is truly like--both the sacrifices and the successes. As a reader, I found myself yearning for the kind of community that Miller discovered amidst both those thrust into poverty and those who have chosen voluntary poverty.

I found myself cheering for the assorted characters that have peopled Miller's world. It is amazing how the street wise can demonstrate Biblical principles that can be elusive to those at the upper levels of our society.

We Are Only Saved Together offers the promise and possibility of a life well-lived. Within its pages rests a true wisdom that can benefit all those seeking the Kingdom of Christ.
