"Street Saints powerfully portrays the difference that faith-based and community groups – as well as faith-filled people – are making in the lives of those in need in America. In an era of cynicism and anxiety, Street Saints offers inspiration and hope and shows how lives are being transformed by, as President Bush would say, America’s ‘armies of compassion.’”

--Jim Towey, former legal counsel to Mother Teresa of Calcutta

Street Saints takes you through the streets of America’s cities to meet people of faith who are renewing America, one heart at a time. These unsung heroes are putting an arm around abused grade schoolers and teaching them to read, facing down drug dealers, and giving hope to bullet-pocked neighborhoods. They are working creatively as social entrepreneurs, turning gang members into computer programmers, and equipping former drug addicts with job and life skills. They are touching the least, the last, and the lost with love. And they are discovering that the transformation is mutual.
