Peculiar People

About the Book

Have you ever stopped to chat with a street evangelist? Or have you instinctively crossed to the other side of the street to avoid the intrusive encounter? This book, Peculiar People, offers the reader a fascinating look into the lives of two, aging street evangelists: Auntie Faith and her husband, Uncle Billy, who have abandoned their ordinary lives in exchange for an extraordinary passion for winning souls right off the street. Faith and Billy can be found preaching to anyone who will listen in the most unlikely places: laundromats, local pubs, waiting rooms, bus stops, and even at fast food hangouts. They never know where they will fi nd themselves on a given day — and that may well be behind bars. It is a story of evangelism on the edge.

The book takes a sweet turn into an unexpected love story that has the power to carry you back to your first love. The tenderness of this love imparts an appreciation for the beauty and the sanctity of Christian bonding between two young people in love.

If you are an atheist or a non-religious person, you will have a very diffi cult time reading this book from beginning to end, especially if you are critical of Christians. The last atheist who read this book couldn’t get beyond page seventy-fi ve. However, if you have been anti-Christian for a while, and you are now beginning to feel your heart softening toward the Lord, there is no better book to read. It is an excellent introduction to Christianity. The book is painlessly informative and biblical, yet it is tender and funny, and the characters are truly endearing, as they are characterized through sensitive, revealing dialogue. This text will teach you how to understand born-again people, and it will also tell you how to become born again yourself. Jesus said in John 3 “Unless a man is born again, he will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven.” Then he repeated it for emphasis a few verses later. Enjoy the book. Be open. It just might be your doorway to eternal life.
