We forget that the essence of what God requires of us is to "love kindness". In this book, filled with stories from his travels around the globe, Barry shows us the forgotten way of kindness.

Jesus. Love Him or hate Him, He's everywhere. On our T-shirts, bumper stickers, and even the covers of leading news magazines, year after year.

They are a promise that when we are the former, we can become the latter. The Bible is filled with a cast of characters who were lost. The crippled man at the Beautiful Gate. The leper.
