There may be almost three million people in the United States--men, women, and saddest of all, children--who have nothing to call their own. Homelessness is a problem for all Americans, and Elliott calls all of us--including the homeless themselves--to responsibility and to a setting aside of blame in order that we may work together in hope for change.

Society of Salty Saints

Meyer Stone & Co

These stories of Salty Saints in Community of the Abandoned are insightful accounts of the continued unfolding Gospel. They describe one man's encounters with Jesus through relationship with the poor.In an arid world where hop, joy, and faith wither in the desert, The Community of the Abandoned offers us a cool glass of clear spring water. In a bad news world where we feel hard pressed to find the Good News, especially for the less fortunate among us, Mike Elliott's stories point us clearly and poignantly toward the Good News at work just where we least expect it, in the lives of the humble, the hungry, the down-and-out. And in a world where our own personal problems all too often divert us from the Christian compassion we intend to live out from day to day, these stories remind us to care also for the fascinating, sometimes motley, always engaging members of the Community of the Abandoned, our sisters and brothers.

While 93% of Americans profess a belief in God, only 40% of the population attends church. It seems that many people have a need for God without a desire for church. Elliot lays the ground rules for a lifelong search for the "Higher Power" and gives suggestions on some unusual places where God can be found.

Playing Hide & Seek: A Non-Churchgoer's Path to Finding God

At last, Elliott combines his keen sense of observation and unmatched knowledge of the politics of securing services for the homeless and weaves them into a tale of intrigue set in Savannah, Georgia. The page-turner marks the first novel by this prolific author of essays and inspirational nonfiction. It takes the reader on a fascinating journey across the political landscape of a town trying to deal with the economic reality of too many sick people, too few services for them, and health care struggling for survival while trying to meet the community's health needs. Based on his own experience as a non-profit executive, Elliott exposes the administrative travails of health-care management. This book is clever, witty, and insightful, and is fun reading; but once you have finished reading it, you will never look at health care the same way. This book is Elliott's most provocative.
