I am reviewing a copy of Bowery Mission through Plough Publishing and Netgalley:
Jason Storbakken a recent director of the Bowery Mission and pastor of the Manhattan Mennonite Fellowship. He writes of his ministry that includes providing meals and other support to the homeless in New York City’s notorious neighborhood.
Bowery Mission is a mixture of history and memoir. It tells of Bowery Missions service to the homeless and hungry from it's founding in 1879 to present day. Storbakken uses personal anecdotes drawn from his own experience as Director of Chapel and Compassionate Care with compelling narratives of the Mission’s founding, development, and transformation over time.
I give Bowery Mission five out of five stars!
Happy Reading!
