Praying with Our Feet: Encountering God in the Margins

A RALLYING CRY FOR ALL WHO BELIEVE THAT FAITH IS MEANT TO BE LIVED OUT LOUD.

In Praying with Our Feet, Dr. Ansel Augustine, who champions the needs of the overlooked and the underserved, takes us on a transformative journey rooted in faith, action, and the undeniable call to justice.

With unflinching honesty and heartfelt storytelling, Augustine invites us into the streets of New Orleans, where faith intersects with the stark realities of poverty, violence, and systemic injustice. Through his years of serving the marginalized, he uncovers what it means to help others and serve God. Drawing from these deeply personal experiences and his profound understanding of Ignatian spirituality, Scripture, and Catholic social teaching, Augustine offers a compelling blueprint for living out our faith in real, tangible ways.

Whether you’re a community leader, an activist, or someone searching for ways to live out your faith with greater purpose, Praying with Our Feet offers the encouragement and clarity needed to take that next step. This book is more than a call to action--it’s an invitation to stand, walk, and journey alongside our brothers and sisters as co-creators of a better, more just world.
