About the Book
The purpose is to lay the foundation for making ourselves aware of the needs and concerns of these individuals. As Christians we must face the fact that aside from seeing and hearing about these individuals, we must do whatever we can to aide them in turning their lives around. We must be willing to meet these individuals in all the areas of their lives, for instance, emotional, intellectual, physical and most importantly spiritually. There are many obstacles that are presented to these troubled individuals on a daily basis. We as Christian soldiers must be willing to step in and fill the void. In addition to God, we must inform them that there is someone and somewhere else they can go to gain the support and strength needed to survive.
