The solutions they offered-taken from America's playbook on poverty-failed to bring real answers."e;Everyone knows homelessness is about the lack of housing, jobs, and money, so why question it?"e; Yet, after watching the same people fall back into homelessness, the Paynes had no choice. They had to find answers.To their amazement, the answers God provided came through unlikely people."e;What's this love of Jesus you're talking about? I have been loved in every position known to man."e;Now, two decades later ... after hundreds of stories and thousands of hours working on the frontlines of homelessness, the Paynes claim: The war on poverty in America has been won.Unlocking a Broken World uncovers a world of mystery. With unforgettable people and inspiring stories, the Paynes challenge you to rethink how you love people and do ministry. One thing is for sure: you will never look at "e;the least of these"e; in the same way.
