I See You
We don't care about what we don't see.
Countless people are invisible to us. We overlook the poor and homeless, partly because we don't share much space with them. More seriously, we often choose not to see the realities around us. We hold misconceptions about who is deserving or not, or make false assumptions about people's poverty being their own fault.
Terence Lester calls us to see the invisible people around us. His personal encounters and real-life stories challenge Christians to become more informed about poverty and homelessness, and to see the poor as Jesus does. When we see people through God's eyes and hear their stories, we restore their dignity and help them flourish. And when we recognize our own inner spiritual poverty, we have greater empathy for others, no matter their circumstances.
Let love open your eyes. Discover how seeing leads us to act with compassion and justice—as God intends.

"Howard Thurman said it is a 'strange freedom' to be seen and called by our name. Terence Lester invites us into this divine freedom in his challenging and inspiring book I See You. In his encouragement to us, we are reminded how each one matters and how love makes all the difference."
