This book is a manual of compassion and restoration for human renewal in vulnerable communities. It makes an excellent and compelling case for why Human Service is more than ever before relevant in current societies that are affected by challenges that threaten daily human conditions. This book could not come at a better time for human service practitioners working in communities affected by crime and trauma. Every human service practitioner should read and treasure this book. Faculty in Human Service programs should ensure that their students reflect on this book.
