Book Description
Lonnie Friesen explores the depth of his experience through a brutal look into his own life as he confidently approaches the periphery of his own limitations and faces off with God, staring into the void of his own understanding. The Homeless Heart is not so much an expose on homelessness as it is on our own humanity. God issued a scathing rebuke on the cavalier Christian's cliches that were the underpinnings of Lonnie's childhood faith. One by one, they evaporated in the heat of desert pain as God asked the question, 'What can you leave behind?' Believing he had relinquished everything, God asked one more thing of him, to leave behind his faith-in religion-in order that God might replace it with a faith in Him alone. The Homeless Heart asks, 'Who breathes hope into the hearts of men? What is it that causes a man to greet each new day with optimism? How long can a man live without hope?'"

Book Description
This is a christian feel-good book about a 32-year-old woman who had life all figured out at age 17 when something traumatic happened to her. It changed everything. She dropped everything in her life until a homeless man came into town. In the beginning, she hated everything about him. But then he wiggled his way into her heart and changed her life forever. ******* Change. Transformation. Renewal. Is it even possible in a heart so hardened by hardship and years of distance? Although her name is oddly unique, her life is quite the opposite and nothing of a miracle. Daily sightings of a homeless beggar make her angry. Constant surprises leave her confused. Continual admiration from a stubborn man proves her pridefulness. But can God's love outweigh the chaos in her life and resurrect the deeply hidden pain of her heart? With a Bible-preaching dad who pushes too hard, and a humorous friend who doesn't even believe in God, the odds seem stacked against her. Trouble seems to always show up--a tragic past, a stranger's death she was unaware of that turns her world upside down. Not to mention a sister who does no wrong and is always in her face. She had life all figured out. That is until tragedy struck one particular night. Then it all changed. She managed to move on. Then over a decade later a homeless man walked into town. She hated him and all he stood for. But will he find a way into her heart? What transformations must happen in order to change her life forever? Or is change even possible after all the years of pushing everyone, including God, away?

Phin leaves home without finishing high school. He decides that living on the streets until he inherits his multi-million-dollar trust fund is better than enduring the nightmare at home. Phin escapes to LA to save himself and faces the reality of life on the streets. Elizabeth Baxter still remembers the day her best friend at high school disappeared, shattering her security and view of the world. On that terrible day, she promised she would give her life to helping others if only her friend would come home. She never did, but Lizzie's dedication to those who needed her was as fierce as ever. Working to raise money for a homeless shelter, Lizzie meets Phin, a damaged and bitter young man. Offering her friendship helps him learn to trust again, but when their friendship turns into something more for both of them. Phin has to trust her with his past or risk losing her forever. But Phin's past is more tragic than she could guess, and when the secrets of his past resurface, nothing is what it seems. Home meant something different until he met her. * Some brief violent content occurs - may be triggering to some individuals
