Synopsis

Where is your heart? Nationwide, tens of thousands of children languish in the foster system, orphans with no hope, no family. Each year, thousands of orphans graduate the system into a life of struggle - poverty, addiction, incarceration...as the Church stands idly by. God's word speaks clearly and decisively on the matter leading to one exacting question - where exactly is your heart? From the pages of Scripture, Bradford Smith issues a surprising call, challenging God's people to take action, to open their eyes to the affliction, to hear the cry of the orphan and to respond. No Higher Call will absolutely destroy any preconceived notions you may have. Shocking, in your face, gut-wrenching - this book will pierce your heart. Absolutely DO NOT read it unless you are prepared for the bitterest of truths, the sweetest of graces, and the reminder that...there is No Higher Call.
