Summary: Foreword by Marvin Olasky
Comment: Thirteen years ago, when I was trying to learn about compassionate conservatives of the late 19th century, Arthur Bonner's book on rescue mission pioneer Jerry McAuley came to my attention. In an unspectacular but convincing fashion, Mr. Bonner told of how God's grace changed an ordinary human being -- sub-human, the Social Darwinists would say, pointing at McAuley's criminal record -- into a rough-cut evangelist who helped to save thousands from the gutters he knew well.
Now Mr. Bonner has extended that story to the present, with straigthforward decriptions of McAuley Mission descendants in Grand Rapids, Syracuse, St. Paul, and other unspectatacular cities which writers looking for the trendy would be likely to disdain ... Tens of thousands of self-sacrificing men and woemn are at work in those rescue missions across the country that are among the best. Rescuers who want to do the job right can learn from the account in this book of ordinary folks who did and do the extraordinary by helping to mend the lives of addicts, offer new oportunities for released prisoners, and give hope to abandoned mothers and children.
