Advance Praise

"For all those convinced 'all is lost' for Christianity, I say, 'Read this book!' Stonestreet and Smith aim to restore some balance to the doom and gloom narrative by pointing us to the stories that prove that God is still at work today, through people who are addressing the brokenness and taking the opportunities right in front of their noses. Inspiring!"--Eric Metaxas, New York Times bestselling author of Miracles: What They Are, Why They Happen, and How They Can Change Your Life

"Not just encouragement but a good swift kick in the pants. If we really believe that God came in Christ not just to save our souls but to restore all things in Him, then we cannot despair. Smith and Stonestreet show how God's people are already advancing God's kingdom in the here and now, as well as give concrete advice on how to take part."--Jay W. Richards, assistant research professor, The Catholic University of America; New York Times bestselling author of Infiltrated and Indivisible
