Walking By the Homeless

“In Walking By the Homeless, Laura shows us that our journey toward Christ-likeness doesn’t occur in the culmination of our understanding of God, but rather in wrestling with the difficult questions that are born from a heart rescued by His grace and overflowing with His love.”



Adriana Hayes, Professor, Freelance Illustrator, Speaker, and Columnist for Just Between Us magazine

“The humility and honesty of Laura’s faith journey will challenge and inspire you. Sometimes loving others is just doing the obvious, and sometimes it means building relationships with those who have no home. Everyone can do something, and I believe that the Holy Spirit will use this book as a catalyst to help you start something.”



Diane Studer, Founder & Director of Soles For Jesus, Inc.

How many times have you walked by a homeless person? Or read about someone hurting or in need and felt conflicted? How often have you spoken to a stranger more nicely than your husband? How often have you looked in the mirror and not liked the person looking back at you?

Walking By the Homeless is a book about ordinary life intersecting with awareness. It is about one suburban woman’s journey from ignoring the homeless to identifying with them by becoming mindful of gaps in her beliefs, actions and relationships in her heart and home. This is a story about doing something in Jesus’ name in our cities, country clubs, kitchens and the crevices of our souls. Walking By the Homeless is not a glamourous or romantic journey, but it will challenge you to think and help you live and love with less regret.
