For over twenty years while being the Pastor of the Church, conducting a Christian school, and conducting a skid-row mission, we were able to tell many fallen and lifeless addicted men and women that sweet old story that Jesus Christ saves sinners. It is and was such a thrilling experience to see hope come back into their lives and see their joy because their sins and their old life had been forgiven forever.

En este paseo, Dolores Reyes responde abriéndonos todas las puertas. Las de su escritura, que va y viene en los colectivos, en las madrugadas cuando sólo ella está despierta o en lo que sus siete hijos van dejando, como los juguetes en el suelo, en ella. Las de sus libros, desde que aparece el deseo de que existan, hasta el trabajo que se requiere para lograrlo.

Through hardship, mistakes, family, faith, and unexpected opportunities, he learned that our past does not determine our future.
