Wow what a great story.
Chapter two is one of those ones you need to read yourself. I can't retell it, that would suck, go read the book. Seriously.
Chapter Two basically is Shane telling a story about when some homeless families in Philly needed a place to stay so they crashed an abandoned Catholic Church. The archdiocese and other people "in charge" tried many times and different ways to kick them out, but, Shane and many people from the Bible College he was attending at the time would go there and risk arrest along side these people to defend their right to shelter when the city wasn't providing any.
There are miracles, possible angels, people sacrificing their time for others, people giving generously. Even the Mafia got involved buying bikes for the children, turkeys for each family and donating thousands to their cause.
If God ca use the Mafia he can use anyone can't he. Isn't that great. Even you can be used by God if you let him. Anytime compassion, love, justice are driving your decisions and actions you are reflecting God in some small way. Keep doing it. Dwell on the good things, the Godly things and you'll reflect them all the more.
