Colin McCartney has spent more than three decades in urban ministry, founding outreach movements that serve at-risk communities in Toronto. An ordained minister and sought-after speaker, he has written four books exploring faith, justice, and personal transformation — drawing on his own experience walking through hardship and his lifelong commitment to living out the words of Jesus in practical, tangible ways.





A memoir of walking through personal tragedy — including a near-death accident — while working in urban youth ministry. Colin shares how he found God's presence in the hardest trials of his life, and how disappointment can become the very thing that reshapes who we are.

A call to take the actual words of Jesus — the "red letters" found in some Bible translations — seriously enough to build a movement around them. Colin challenges readers to respond to poverty, racism, and injustice the way Jesus did: practically, personally, and without excuse.

Written together with Judith McCartney, this short book explores what biblical justice actually looks like in practice — and makes the case for why it should matter deeply to the church, not just as an idea, but as a way of living.
