A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

"In Darkness, a Light Still Shines" - 52 Stories of Hope - Gleaned from the Homeless, Poor, and those who Care for Them It is no secret that hopelessness and despair have emerged in our world to a staggering degree. Broken relationships, financial uncertainties, and seemingly impossible situations are plaguing multitudes tempting them to give up on life. These writings are an attempt to offer hope in the midst of the darkness so prevalent in our world today. The challenges surrounding each one of the 52 short stories included in this book have been immense; yet the way God has brought treasure and light out of the darkness faced is astonishing. While your life is unique and it sometimes feels as though there is no way out from the overwhelming circumstances you face, there really is always hope. There is not one situation you can experience that will ever be too difficult for God. Regardless of how intense, the darkness can never fully extinguish the light that eternally shines (John 1:5). As you open the pages to embark on the journey before you, may you come to the assurance of knowing that… … even in darkness, a light still shines.

Biographie de l'auteur

Barry has served the homeless and community as the Executive Director at the Topeka Rescue Mission for over twenty-six years. Prior to his service at the Mission, he spent ten years working in the field of mental health. For most of his life, he has desired to draw closer in his relationship with God by walking alongside those who suffer. Frequently his eyes have been opened to see and experience God, while helping those who are in the midst of depression, hunger, homelessness, mental illness, addiction, anger, and hopelessness. It has been through this that he has come to recognize that even in the darkness of suffering, a light still shines. Barry has spent his entire life in Kansas, residing for the majority of the time in Topeka. He and his wife, Tami, have two grown daughters, Rebecca and Elizabeth, a son-in-law, Mark, and a grandson, Jacob Franklin. Though still moving forward by faith, Barry’s prayer is for the lives he comes in contact with to be changed and hope to be restored through the unfailing love of Jesus Christ. He knows it is only through Him that all things truly are possible.
