These painful, honest, and ultimately hopeful stories--paired with reflections from religious leaders--inspire the reader to greater empathy and commitment.--Rabbi Jill Jacobs, Executive Director, T'ruah: The Rabbinic Call for Human Rights It is rare that one book provides a gripping, honest, unapologetic look at the lives and perspectives of individuals experiencing homelessness. Sacred Shelter does just that demanding a reader's immediate attention. After bearing witness to the truths captured in this book I was moved to deepen my intention to fight for affordable housing across the nation.--Afua Atta-Mensah, Esq., Executive Director, Community Voices Heard Both the Torah and the New Testament instruct, 'love your neighbor as yourself.' This book's stories of suffering and redemption show how real people live that commandment. Susan Greenfield has compiled stories and reflections that inspire, uplift and challenge. Sacred Shelter shares lessons about the power of love and perseverance, and about how, when we extend respect, kindness and hope to people our society rejects and scorns, we take huge steps closer to a more just and love-filled world for everyone.--Brian Purnell, Geoffrey Canada Associate Professor of Africana Studies and History, Bowdoin College Homelessness is not hopelessness-at least for the 13 individuals whose stories are told in Sacred Shelter. Personal empowerment; supportive community; God's gracious presence are highlighted as key to these success stories of transformation and growth.
