The Beggars Hope PDF Download

A tired girl wanders the street. A grungy man rifles through a Dumpster. A weary mom hauls her baby as she begs for food. Nameless and anonymous to those around them, these people are avoided, consistently ignored at best, cruelly mistreated at worst. But each has a name. Each has a past. And each life has meaning. Blinky lost his wife to cancer. Blinded by grief, he forsook his former life. Forgetting the past, he formed a bond with others who are homeless by choice. Pogo defended the woman he loved from an attacker and fled Mexico to avoid retribution. Chazz fought in a war and came home a hollow shell. They had retreated from society and met by chance on the stark streets. A children's book, given to them by a little girl, helps them retrieve, not only their lives, but the desire to make a difference for God's glory. In Michael Corneiller's thought-provoking novel, The Beggars' Gift, it takes all the King's men to seek a solution to the plague of destitution that is taking over Pimlico. The factories are closing, the workers going home, empty and broken, and this dying town's only hope is its outcasts. But one woman continues to give. Maggie Lowell opens a food pantry for the homeless. Asking for help, Maggie looks for ways to provide. For fourteen-year-old Kanie, her compassion means everything. Unwittingly involved with an intimidating robber, Kanie tries to break away while thwarting his old boss. But when he runs to what he thinks is a safe haven, the green house, he discovers a disturbing scheme. A persuasive predator is promising homeless children a better life. Can Kanie escape his new prison? Will The Beggars' Gift revive hope and save Pimlico from the economic depression? God has a plan to resurrect all the King's men, but can they find the missing children and save the entire town?
