“Out of the Ditch” is written to inspire the Good Samaritan IN YOU for response to those in crisis. It is about being a loving neighbor to those left brokenhearted and devastated by loss, trauma and abandonment. Physical, emotional and spiritual support was given out of compassion by an ordinary man as described by Jesus in the parable of the Good Samaritan in Luke 10:25-37. From his story, we learn to love our neighbor as ourselves and to apply the love and compassion of Christ in responding to the hurting. Join me through the journey of this parable to see how you, too, can be a modern day Good Samaritan.
