Description
Nobody's Child described John Robinson's journey from brutal foster homes, through borstal, prison and life on the streets, to his discovery of the transforming love of Christ. Today he leads the astonishingly effective Eden Bus Ministry in Manchester. In 2004 he received the Unsung Heroes Award. Somebody's Child continues John's story. The Bus Ministry operates in tough, often volatile areas, and the volunteers rely on skill, teamwork and prayer support. John tells dramatic, profoundly moving stories of damaged young people who discover the life-changing power of Christ's love. John and his wife Gillian, a Church of England minister, juggle the demands of family life, their calling from God, supporting each other and caring for their two daughters.
