Paul Boge is a good story teller, and the story he tells in The Urban Saint is a very, very good story.
I recently read and reviewed the book (to be published in a future issue of Faith Today) 
and found it a profoundly moving story of God’s grace and compassion, experienced first by Harry Lehotsky himself, then shared by him with those in Winnipeg’s depressed West End who need it most. I doubt that you will be able to read this story without shedding more than a few tears.
Anyone interested in domestic poverty, human-suffering and community development will find this a powerful story. If you have time for just one book this Summer, make it this one. You will not be disappointed. ChristianWeek ran a story about Boge’s biography of Harry Lehotsky last Fall.
