Stronger Together

Stronger Together Book

“Maria Garriott's deeply personal, honest and vulnerable writing compels readers to reflect on their own journeys, successes, and failures toward unity. Stronger Together encourages us to continue to lean in... I have learned much from Maria, for which I am grateful to the Lord. This book serves as an important reminder to embrace our collective call toward Christ-centered unity.”

—Alexander Jun, Ph.D. Author, White Jesus and White Evolution; Professor of Higher Education, Azusa Pacific University

A Gospel Lens on Unity

In a world fractured by racial, ethnic, class, and political division, God's people need to pursue their unity in Christ. Jesus not only reconciles us to God but unites us in a new family. As we experience more of the fullness of being God’s reconciled people, we know more of the fullness of God.
Stronger Together explores how the gospel provides the spiritual tools for unity. Each chapter includes a personal essay, biblical analysis, and historical context. A Bible study offers readers an opportunity to reflect and discuss each chapter.

“This book’s theological depth and practical wisdom will equip you to grow and change into a more magnificent reflection of our beautiful God.”
—Rev. Irwyn L. Ince, D.Min.
Author, The Beautiful Community; Founder, Institute for Cross Cultural Mission; Mission to North America (PCA) Coordinator

“If you long for your church to reflect that deep and practical unity in diversity to which Christ clearly calls us, Stronger Together is a valuable and compelling tool.”

—Pat Hatch, Refugee and Immigrant Ministry Director, PCA Mission to North America

A Thousand Resurrections

 

An Urban Spiritual Journey

A Thousand Resurrections is one woman’s story of a return to a city that many have fled. It is about the challenges, heartbreaks, lessons, and joys of a woman participating in the transformation of the city while being transformed herself.

In her book, Maria shows us what it truly means to practice Christianity with its sleeves rolled up. This is not so much a story about urban ministry; it's about reflecting Christ ... You hold in your hands a book which is not only insightful, but powerfully encouraging!

-- Joni Eareckson Tada, Joni and Friends

Grip your chair. This mind-boggling account of a family’s naive-yet-determined move to one of America’s challenging urban neighborhoods will lay its hand on you. Maria Garriott’s descriptions pull you in, her characters insist you stay. The narrative pays its rent up to the last page, which arrives all too quickly. I envy those about to read this story for the first time.

—Steven Estes, co-author of When God Weeps
