Santa in a Brothel

Last updated on: November 22, 2011 at 3:48 pm By Roger Wolsey

These Children Have Names

Last updated on: November 7, 2011 at 4:03 am By Guest Contributor

"God in a Brothel" isn’t about nameless, faceless children. It’s about real children – children with names, personalities, and potential as specific and precious as those belonging to the children you and I know.
