After natural and man-made catastrophes, locally or abroad, we see resources flow into hurting areas; and we pray that God will heal those to whom the help goes. Usually, after we give our time or money, we don't see the results of our efforts. That's too bad, because sometimes we could learn better ways to give if we could see the results. The examples in this book can help you understand the hits and misses of the good intentions of those who give without having a real understanding of the need.
Bruce has been hanging around the publishing world in one way or another for a long time. He originally wanted to be a college English professor (well, actually he wanted to be a wide receiver for the Steelers, and then an astronaut, but neither of those worked out). Pros—he’s gainfully employed (currently) and can start a fire with two sticks (as long as one of them is a match). Cons? He’s not Channing Tatum, and his cooking will wreck your diet. He’s written a few books now and then, mostly when other writers couldn’t be found, and he loves being married.
