I See You – How Love Opens Our Eyes to Invisible People - Softcover

"Devour this book and let Terence gently speak to you from his soul. He will help you to see poverty differently. He won't let you stay in despair but will lead you to the promised land of hope where real solutions and love await you."--From the foreword by Dave Gibbons, founder and CEO, XEALOTS

"Terence Lester is a doer! This isn't a book about social theory or what we should do; rather, this is a book about what has been done, is being done, and what is working. He speaks from his heart, a heart with experience in the trenches. Terence has been there. He knows what he is talking about, and he is doing something on a daily basis to address the needs of the most vulnerable in our country. This is a book by a servant leader who is leading a movement that is changing the world for many people. This is a love story. A love story for the most vulnerable and how love calls us to act. Love is an action word, and Terence Lester is living love beyond walls. This is a must-read for anyone in ministry or who says they love the world that God died for."--Ralph Basui Watkins, The Peachtree Associate Professor of Evangelism and Church Growth, Columbia Theological Seminary, pastor of Wheat Street Baptist Church

"Terence Lester takes readers on an empathic and personal journey that requires all of us to evaluate how we see others. His willingness to step out of his comfort zone to endure the elements people are encountering daily is exemplary. Our homeless brothers and sisters are fighting for their lives, and this book requires readers to analyze if we will fight alongside them. I am confident that this book will bring the mind shift that is needed to turn apathy into empathy. Terence is not just telling stories; he is speaking life--one that he has experienced enough to champion."--Cornelius Lindsey, senior pastor at The Gathering Oasis Church

"If you want the world to be better, we need the voices of the people making things better to be heard. Terence Lester is that voice that needs to be heard. This book will shake you and cause you to be different for the better."--Jeff Shinabarger, founder of Plywood People, author of More or Less

"One of the conditions of truth is to allow the suffering to speak, which is why this book is the real talk, straight-no-chaser truth. Using personal narrative, theological conviction, and social analysis, Terence beautifully describes the misery that so many of our sisters and brothers in poverty face. After reading this book many will be inspired to live a more compassionate life rooted in faith, action, and love and will answer the call of the Spirit to do something to help heal our broken world. In this time of rampant social inequality and indifference to the plight of the poor, this book will comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable. But most of all it will invite us on a journey that will leave us saying, 'I see you.'"--Billy Michael Honor, public scholar, faith leader, and social justice organizer, Huffington Post contributor
