Book excerpt: John Roush was once a homeless alcoholic and drug addict. Now he ministers to the homeless in south Alabama. He is a frequent guest on religious podcasts and radio shows and shares his testimony at churches along the gulf coast, as well as offering his testimony directly to the homeless populations that he has kept in touch with. You will often find John Roush in the woods, beneath bridges, and in the homeless camps sharing his salvation and redemption story that he has achieved through our lord and Savior Jesus Christ. John Roush leads his life as an example that there is 'hope' and that with the power of Christ things can and will change.
