He Went a Little Farther: Stories of Challenge and Inspiration from the Streets of an American Inner-city

by Steve Campbell

In 1986, Steve Campbell and his wife, Wanda, started a small street ministry in Columbus, Ohio's Short North District, a notorious crime area. They've spent more than thirty years serving the homeless and urban poor. In He Went a Little Farther, Campbell shares a collection of stories culled from this ministry that's now known as the Columbus Dream Center. But these are not Campbell's stories. They are God's stories. They are stories of prostitutes, gang members, and drug addicts, loved by God and transformed by him. These are the stories of what happens when God stretches us to go a little farther. Stories like "Irv" and "The Girl at the Dumpster" reveal how Jesus, who went a little farther for us, leads us to go a little farther for him. Written in devotional format, the twelve stories take place between Thanksgiving Day and Christmas during different years, but all within the holiday season. Each narrative contains a link to a video presentation of the story. He Went a Little Farther captures your heart and stretches you for the purpose of going a little farther.

I absolutely loved this book, while at the same time I was humbled by it. The way God and the Holy Spirit has worked in and protected Pastor Steve and Wanda's life is awesome and inspiring! These stories are examples of how I need to live with faith and a servants heart. But also they are stories that show that every human deserves kindness, because if not for the Grace of God, goes I.
