"God in the Alley"
I love to read and every now and then you find that one book that you connect with,,,this is that book for me.
It's about a minister from Toronto who lives and ministers to a community called The Sanctuary. It's basically those people who are on drugs,homeless,have AIDS, or prostitute. The thing I like about this book is that it tells the stories of those he ministers to and how he interacts with them. It's not always a success story but it doesn't discourage him from doing what God has called him to do...be Jesus in a broken world to those who have little or no hope.
"Being among people means being in their midst, not outside. It means being with them, not being over them. It means not looking away from their agony or humiliation, but beholding it, and having the courage to be also wounded by their pain.
