Review:

"As a physician volunteer at the monthly medical clinic at Hoskins Park, I am privileged to wittiness first- hand the Second Wind life changing experience the ministry is having on these men. Tom Wheeler does not just 'talk the talk' he also 'walks the walk'. Read Second Wind and then take your own step out in faith."-- E Craig Evans MD, Surgical Oncologist, Surgical Specialist of Charlotte, Charlotte, NC

"If you read Second Wind and still do not understand what it means to be a Christian, you may never understand. It's simple and direct. The funny, sometimes sad and awful stories, Tom writes about in Second Wind are the reality he faced moving into the 'hood.' If you really want to help the least and lost, I would encourage you to read Second Wind."-- Steven Wile, Carpenter

"Just as Tom quotes his partner and friend Johnny Allen, he has pursued the ministry God has given him 'by sacrificing what I considered to be productivity for the sake of the person', and in the process of touching each Man individually, has built one of the most effective missions to the homeless, one that 'comes along side' of these men and therefore goes at their pace, and God's pace, not ours. However you read Second Wind, please be sure to read all the biblical passages contained therein - they are solid truth and touch on all the foundational elements of faith in Jesus and the life and hope Tom tries to instill into the hearts of his participants."-- Tom Emmrich, President and CEO, Entegreat Inc.

"Second Wind is an honest and powerful look at the reality of life and where hope is found. Tom weaves together his own experiences with the truth of God's Word to stand in the gap when life comes unraveled. It is well worth the investment of your time to read and then give it to someone who needs hope."-- Rev. Jim Kallam, Sr. Pastor, Church at Charlotte

"What Tom Wheeler is doing at Hoskins Park Ministry is amazing. We are fortunate he is telling some of the stories that have evolved out of his ministry in his book Second Wind."-- Cammie Harris
