Author has spent over 30 years providing assistance to the homeless, working poor, runaway teens and abused children
COLUMBUS, May 28, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- In 1986, author Steve Campbell and his wife, Wanda, started a small street ministry in Columbus, Ohio's Short North District, a notorious crime area. Through the decades, the Campbell's work grew into a nationally recognized ministry now known as the Columbus Dream Center.
In his book, "He Went a Little Farther," Campbell shares a collection of a dozen stories culled from his experiences helping Columbus' homeless and poor. The stories are all written in a devotional format, and each of them takes place between Thanksgiving Day and Christmas.
"This is a book of stories," said Campbell. "Not my stories, but God's stories; stories of what I have seen him do in the lives of the hookers, addicts, and gang members who live in inner-city Columbus."
Each of the stories in the book is available to the reader in a video presentation as well as in print. The video presentations are accessed through a QR code or at http://www.thejourneyoflife.org. The videos were recorded and produced by a young man Campbell met and befriended while the man was incarcerated. It was during the young man's incarceration that he acquired his video skills. Today the two men are the closest of friends.
"I hope this book helps remind everyone that they are not beyond God's reach," said Cambell. "It doesn't matter who you are, what you did, or where you live. God is waiting for you to allow him to embrace you."
"He Went A Little Farther" recently won a Literary Global Independent Author Award.
