Somebody's Child
The story of a man who found hope - and took it to the streets''If Jesus were here today he'd be in the bars and on the streets with the homeless, the drinkers, the drug addicts and the prostitutes. People were always telling him that he shouldn't be mixing with those awful people. I was an awful person too, but Jesus found me, and he did it through the people who reached out to me. They didn't preach at me, but they fed me, and one young man put his arm round me - how many people would do that to a dirty, smelly, homeless person? I want to do that for other people, showing them the love of God...''
"Nobody's Child" described John Robinson's journey from brutal foster homes, through borstal, prison and life on the streets, to his discovery of the transforming love of Christ. Today he leads the astonishingly effective Eden Bus Ministry in Manchester. In 2004 he received the Unsung Heroes Award.
"Somebody's Child" continues John's story. The Bus Ministry operates in tough, often volatile areas, and the volunteers rely on skill, teamwork and prayer support. John tells dramatic, profoundly moving stories of damaged young people who discover the life-changing power of Christ's love. John and his wife Gillian, a Church of England minister, juggle the demands of family life, their calling from God, supporting each other and caring for their two daughters.
''Everybody is Somebody's Child, and that Somebody is God.''
