Excerpt
AFTER THOUGHTS - "How can we be so cozy sleeping in our own little beds when there is someone outside, in our city or our town today, sleeping on the ground, in the cold, in the rain, shivering in the snow and blustering winds, or bombarded with flies, mosquitoes, ants and other bugs. These homeless are often former soldiers who have sacrificed so much for our freedom that allows us to sleep in our cozy little beds today, America! Many soldiers offered their lives for that freedom, America!
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. John 15:13
What price must they continue to pay? They have already offered themselves up so that we may have the liberty to sleep in our cozy little beds. But where is the liberty and justice for those who are lost, confused, discouraged, beaten up and exhausted in the bewilderment and perplexity of returning to and reemerging into the American way.
They are locked in their own personal prisons of war. We, as American's, are responsible for finding and helping our Veterans who are missing in action, lost, without meaning and purpose. We are responsible for setting our prisoners of war free. Such as small price for each of us to pay, in return for our gratitude to those who have paid so much". The book closes with an invitation and prayer to receive Jesus Christ as one's Lord and Savior.
