“Jesse Rivers has a heart of gold! . . . The unconditional love and acceptance Jesse found in Jesus, he now brings to hurting children he intrinsically understands and practically cares for through the outreach of Abogar. This unique lifestory, crafted by God, reveals a transformed, difference-making, beautiful kingdom laborer, willing to engage true mud puddles of human suffering and need, with the hope and forever changing love of God!”
—Dwight Robertson, author of You Are God’s Plan A

“If you have ever wondered what life is like for foster kids, Jesse’s book gives you a child’s-eye view. From his own life story, Jesse provides enough detail to enable you to experience the hardship and pain that foster children endure. Jesse also shares how God was real to him even as a child, and how God enabled him to emerge from his traumatic childhood into a meaningful life of ministry to children.”
—Janice Morgan Strength, retired Assistant Professor of Marital and Family Therapy, Fuller Theological Seminary

“Father God has done it again! This is a story of how he sought a treasure out of the darkness (Isa 45:3). The enemy poured out the worst of his hate and abuse on a young child, but rather than becoming an angry, bitter, violent person, Jesse met Jesus and experienced healing love that brought a passion for God and life and a purpose to share God’s love with the world’s most broken.”
—Mike Holland, pastor, church planter, and missionary, Brethren in Christ Church US
