I believe you can purchase the book on Amazon. If you cannot find it, please let me know and I'll contact them directly. They also have a web-site but I don't know if you can purchase it there. I'll check that out for you.
God bless.

Glad to hear from you, bro. Glad to hear that God is using you to impact the "less fortunate," even though that term can be questionable at times :-) I'm looking forward to Ben's conference. I think it's going to be great. God's willing, I'll see you there. How are things going on your end?

At 10:44pm on November 20th, 2007, Patina Ripkey said…: I can't wait for you to finish the book. It changed me. I've passed it around to many people. My friend in Ohio is in the middle of reading it right now and she told me they should make it into a movie -- and I told her they are. They're working on the screenplay right now. Anyway, I think it's a must read for anyone who's ministering to the homeless. God bless.
