The Same Kind of Human: Seeing the Marginalized and Exploited through Eyes of Grace

"Perhaps the separation between someone like him and someone like mewas not so wide after all. Perhaps we were just two sides of the same coin, two facets of the same kind of human."

PROSTITUTE
ADDICT
HOMELESS
CRIMINAL

To the everyday person, these words conjure up a variety of thoughts. How does one arrive there? Is it by choice? Why don't they just stop, or go get a job? Can a person like this really change?

Christine "Clarity" McDonald, survivor of human trafficking and author of the memoir Cry Purple, challenges the biases and assumptions we commonly hold about exploited and marginalized populations. Through stories of her own lived experiences, Scripture, thought-provoking commentary, and practical resources, she unveils the humanity of these individuals and helps us to see them through the eyes of Jesuseyes of grace. In helping us see the humanity of those we often judge or shun, she empowers us to instead reach out with arms of love and a message of hope.
