Sally Perry wrote: Family and Friends, I rode an emotional roller coaster this past weekend as I read B.T. Williams Living is a Full-Time Job. The story of an IT Professional (Programmer Analyst) who fell into homelessness with his wife and granddaughter after losing his corporate job. I was on the edge of my seat anticipating how the family would survive the day-to-day cycle of stress and desperation aligned with the homeless. I was deeply moved as I read and pondered we are ALL just one wrong turn or unchangeable life event away from a circumstance that could render us in need of a roof over our head and the small, seemingly meaningless privileges and amenities we take for granted every day. The book also speaks to the stress-induced reality facing the desperate while in the grips of social welfare politics, bureaucratic red tape, and broken people in power and authority to exploit the poor and needy. Morever, it speaks to the trust, faith in God, humility and character that continued to loom larger than the horrifying circumstance of homeless. 160-page paperback. Awesome book!!
