Description
This is the compelling story of the worldwide development of the 'Life Line' telephone ministry founded by Alan Walker in Sydney. From small beginnings the idea of 'Life Line International' spread to all parts of the globe, crossing the barriers of space, language and culture to bring comfort, healing and the knowledge of Christian love to thousands of lonely and desperate men and women.
Alan Walker tells of the growth of the ministries working in different countries - of the problems and perils which each had to face, of difficulties overcome, of the services which have grown out of the needs of particular groups of people.
As he recounts some of the achievements of the 'Life Line' volunteers - would-be suicides saved, hopeless addicts cured, broken homes and marriages restored - the author gives a unique insight into the loneliness and distress which afflict so many in our modern age. But he also shows the way to an answer; taking the love of Christ for others as a guide, Alan Walker and 'Life Line International' have created a circle of Christian caring reaching around the world.
