"An inspiring starting point for Christians looking to put their beliefs into action." -Publishers Weekly

Political and cultural wars are tearing communities apart. Issues such as immigration, racism, and guns are driving wedges between people and hampering Christians' impact in the world.

In Empowered to Repair, Brenda Salter McNeil looks to the biblical story of Nehemiah for answers. There, she finds an action-based model for repairing and rebuilding our communities and transforming broken systems.

McNeil goes beyond theories, offering practical tools Christians need for organizing, empowering, and activating people to join in God's work of equality, reparations, and justice. She provides strategies to drive systemic changes that go beyond superficial diversity and teaches the skills needed to engage in this important work long-term, such as organizing people, leveraging resources, and avoiding burnout through rest, prayer, and self-care.

Learning from Nehemiah, listeners will be emboldened to go out and help build congregations, organizations, and communities where all people can flourish and reach their full God-given potential.

Compelling material and reading

The content is masterful, both expansive and intimate, challenging and hopeful, scholarly and accessible. The reading, by the author, brims with the intelligence, experience, and passion that only the author can bring. People of all skin colors and walks of life are invited genuinely into God’s liberating work, and the result, I pray, is healthy leadership and an active community.
