Patsy Welch ministered at a homeless shelter in Dallas, Texas for almost ten years, working in the kitchen and providing chapel messages for the women there. This book is a product of those years. Through her own story and insights into God's Word, she was able to connect with these women who struggled with so many complex issues and found themselves in hopeless desperation. With humor and realness, she spoke to the problems they were experiencing with hope, joy, and encouragement. Their response to her was heartwarming, and their response to the Savior, Jesus Christ, was awesome! Since these words seemed to have helped those who were down and out and needed to find their way in a difficult world, she wants to share them with other women who are broken and wanting to rebuild their lives on the principles of God's Word. Those who walk this journey with them will also find help, encouragement, and joy in these messages. To God be the glory!
