A New Book from Maria Garriott

Stronger Together

A Gospel Lens on Unity

In a world plagued by racial and ethnic division, the gospel of Jesus gives us the spiritual tools and power that make unity possible in a divided world. Stronger Together provides fresh insights into this reconciling gospel, and addresses contemporary issues of racial, ethnic, and class division through the lens of Scripture.

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. Dr. Irwyn L. Ince, Author, The Beautiful Community
Stronger Together is a courageous book that the Church needs...I gladly endorse this book.
— Rev. Mike Khandjian, Chapelgate Presbyterian Church

Maria increases our thirst for God’s Story where pain is not minimized and hope of renewal is our promised future and present pursuit. Tremble not. Dive in. Read and grow STRONGER in love and unity TOGETHER!”

”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, despite the many ongoing challenges of reconciliation. 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.”
