One of the greatest investigative books of all time. What a story!
“I used to think that Christian contemplation was reserved for white men who leave copies of C.S. Lewis's letters strewn about and know a great deal about coffee and beard oils.

I learned of this book from a podcast. The guest was reminding listeners how individuals and churches are called to help the poor and the marginalized and how having secure housing can help stabilize the issues that contribute to homelessness. I was compelled to track down his book. For me his work is a five ⭐️ pick. It is teaching me how a change in perspective and a willingness to do small and big things may make a difference.
