Joseph Tuckerman and the Outdoor Church

History & Biography

“Part biography, part memoir, and part description of a street ministry to the homeless-Joseph Tuckerman and the Outdoor Church succeeds marvelously on all fronts. You will not be able to put down this well-written biography of Joseph Tuckerman-the first true minister to the homeless in this country-and this memoir of Jed Mannis, who walks today in Tuckerman's footsteps. But even more compelling is the insight provided into ministry to the homeless and the presence of the divine and wonderfully human on the streets.”
