Recommended reading for those concerned with child welfare

A Place For Miracles: Baptist Children's Homes Of North Carolina by Baptist minister Michael C. Blackwell is a remarkable illustrated history and showcase for the Baptist Children's Homes of North Carolina, an institution that began in 1885 as an orphanage and grew with the times to become the family-central and child-focused social service that it is today. Interviews with alumni of the Baptist Children's Homes, stories of its evolution throughout the century and beyond, black-and-white photographs, and the depths of human caring make A Place For Miracles a heartwarming and uplifting saga, and highly recommended reading for those concerned with child welfare issues from a Christian perspective.
