Written by Grove City College History Department Chairman Gary Scott Smith and his wife Jane Marie Smith, Suffer the Children describes the plight of poor children and provides many practical ways we can participate in one of the most important crusades to improve our world. Most of us feel that we cannot significantly impact the lives of children in need, both near and far, but this book gives concrete examples of how we can improve their lives spiritually and materially. By praying, giving generously, investing and shopping more prudently, and advocating more zealously in the political arena, among other things, we can improve their material situation and open their minds and hearts to the Gospel.
