Extraordinary moving stories of evangelism on the hard side of life.
By A UK ReviewerFormat:Paperback and Ebook - Kindle
Fred is high on drugs and doesn't want Howard Webber, the then Salvation Army captain, to come round to his flat because it is in chaos, rather like Fred himself. They meet, instead, in the cafe at a supermarket in a nearby town. But the road isn't straight and we follow the twists and turns of Howard and Fred's relationship - through missed promises, desperate heartache and self-destruction and final redemption.
This is an inspiration!

I grew up as a Salvationist and this modest, small book makes me proud of that heritage. I am reading and rereading a chapter daily. Major Howard Webber is honest. His sincerity shines through in each chapter. He relates not only the trophies of grace won for Jesus, but the painful failures. There is a real sense of warmth that the reader can touch.

This book is perhaps the most extraordinary one I've reviewed
since writing for Christianity. It is a series of stories of evangelism on the
hard side of life. It is painfully honest and lists as many failures as
successes, as many deaths as new lives. Documenting Webber's spiritual battles
too, it is possibly the most moving set of accounts I've ever read, and the
most hopeful. It is all too easy to see the role of being God's ambassadors as
reduced to preaching, or set among those who we love and are safe. But this
book challenges us to be where Jesus would be, with the down-and-outs, with the
hopeless and the broken. It looks the cost of such ministry square in the eye
and carries on just the same. Please buy this book.
