Synopsis

The winner of 3 book awards as best book in it's category, Bent Hope was born out of Tim Huff’s first twenty years of unique and extensive work among homeless and street-involved youth and adults, in one of North America’s largest urban centres—Toronto, Canada. Bent Hope is a collection of thoughtful narratives birthed beneath crumbling bridges and in the hidden alcoves of darkened alleyways after midnight. These gripping true-life stories surface quietly from unforgiving corridors of fear, hurt and uncertainty—and unexpectedly and supernaturally transform them into fascinating places of intimacy and godly anticipation.

Seeing people as people. That is ultimately the message of this book, and it is given in a beautiful and poignant way that truly touches the heart. Too often, I know, I look at people on the street as "problems", or make assumptions about why they are there, but whatever the reason, the simple fact......more
