David Rhodes began life as a journalist, working in the hard-bitten world of national newspapers. Despite his unease with the institutional Church, he was ordained in 1972. But he has never quite stopped being a journalist and his passion to investigate the 'big story' of God has led him into some strange encounters, as his books reveal.

Combining moving stories from the inner city with a fresh approach to the Gospel, this book explores the revolutionary idea that the good news of God's love is being spoken to a tired and damaged world by those rejected as worthless: the homeless and the poor. This radically revised edition incorporates powerful new insights and reflections.
