It has been called one of the greatest tragedies of our time. In an age of prosperity and plenty, hundreds of thousands of people continue to find themselves destitute and homeless. Bent Hope was born out of Tim Huff's unique and extensive twenty-year ministry among homeless and street-involved youth and adults in Toronto, Canada. It is a collection of thoughtful narratives birthed beneath crumbling bridges and in the hidden alcoves of darkened alleyways. Each chapter reveals a unique life-story-unpredictable, intriguing and compelling. These gripping true-life stories surface quietly from unforgiving corridors of fear, hurt and uncertainty that unexpectedly and supernaturally transform into fascinating places of intimacy and godly anticipation.
While the surface aims of Bent Hope are to inspire and educate, the author's core objective is not to reveal the grand experience of ministry "to" the poorest of the western world's poor, but to expose the extraordinary beauty of being blessed "by" and "among" them.
