In Living His Story (2020), Hannah Steele wrote 'with an infectious understanding of her subject' (Mark Oakley, Church Times).
Now, in Living His Story Together, she turns her attention to mission and evangelism that is not only for individuals but for the whole local church. Offering an inspiring mandate for the church to see itself as a missionary community, Hannah considers the practical outworkings of that identity through engaging with scripture and current theological thinking, and sharing real-life stories from churches on the front line.
Living His Story Together isn't an argument for a particular model of church (plant or parish, for example) but an exciting exploration of what can happen when two or three of God's missionary disciples are gathered together, empowered by the Spirit and seeking to be good news in the world today. It covers contemporary missional themes, such as hospitality, cultural engagement, presence, diversity and spoken witness, and offers practical principles - vividly enlivened by relating the imaginative and disarming ways in which ordinary churches and individuals are sharing the gospel - to help us embrace the great privilege to which we have been called.

Archbishop Justin Welby
«Hannah Steele is a gifted communicator, a deep thinker about mission and a passionate evangelist. It’s hard to imagine a better person to write on the church as it engages the world, and this book does not disappoint – it is full of new angles, wise perspectives and rich reflection.»
Bishop Graham Tomlin
«Living His Story Together masterfully unpacks what it means to be a gospel-centred, Spirit-filled, prayer-soaked, creativity-unleashing, culturally relevant body of believers.»
Phil Knox, missiologist and author, Evangelical Alliance
«Using stories, examining historical connotations of mission and the need to listen to those adversely affected by them, Hannah illustrates the powerful impact of community when living out biblical concepts of mission together.»
The Revd Canon Dr Sharon Prentis, Deputy Director of the Racial Justice Unit
«In this wonderful book, Hannah Steele offers us a personal and deeply enriching invitation to explore and experience the beauty and breadth of the Church of God. You won’t be able to put it down!»

«Steele writes with an infectious understanding of her subject . . . [She] wants us to see the beauty and privilege of belonging within this story of God and of the goodness in inviting others through the door by a process of transformative imagination.»
