Based on eight years of hands on experience and more than 300 interviews. Street Saints is a book of motivational stories about unsung heroes and a sociological study of the faith factor, documenting faith-based programs that are treating social maladies in America. This book takes readers on a tour of communities and institutions where faith-based initiatives are making a difference. It profiles the motivated people responsible for these initiatives, the programs they are running, and the communities they are renewing. Street Saints offers inspiration, role models, and guidelines for people who would like to give back to their own communities.
