NOBODYS CHILD PB

This is the heart-rending true story of how God turned around a life which started tragically, from abusive foster homes all the way to Borstal. It is a powerful testimony of how God reached John. Changed him completely and led him to work with children on the streets of Manchester. A lonely adolescent drifts into petty crime and finds himself in the dark underworld of the street where drink, drugs and violence are part of everyday life. Yet running through this fascinating human story is a parallel 'God Story'. John Robinson had the worst possible start in life. Taken into care at four months old, he was left in abusive foster homes for most of his childhood. At fourteen he was sent to a detention centre for arson. Gravitating towards a life of crime, he moved from borstal to the streets, to psychiatric hospital, a scarred, tattooed, broken and angry young man. Yet God had plans for John. Today he runs the Eden Bus Ministry: frontline youth buses which travel the toughest parts of Manchester with the gospel. The teams befriend young people and sometimes accompany them to court.
