DALLAS, Dec. 16, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- In a powerful true story about a couple who literally took God's word to the streets, Russ Pate offers the enthralling tale of two people who have dedicated their lives to helping the homeless in Dallas. Heaven Sent: The Bubba and Harry Dailey Story (now available through AuthorHouse), is an inspirational look at how a remarkable couple reached out to help neighbors in need.
A call to action for Christian charity and compassion, Heaven Sent outlines how this Episcopal married couple transformed Austin Street Centre from on overnight emergency shelter to a therapeutic community based on help, hope and healing.
The book also details how the two were joined on this path, and by doing so, it presents a lesson in redemption and second chances. After years of being trapped in a loveless marriage, Bubba immersed herself in a one-woman street ministry. Harry, a recovering alcoholic, endured a terrifying near-death experience that turned his life around. Their introduction to each other changed their lives forever.
Their inspirational story speaks of both personal strength and the strength that comes when one surrenders their will to God. The Daileys are a rare breed whose dedication is uncommon and whose deep love is profound. Heaven Sent is the captivating true story of two people who took God's message to heart and continue to bring light and hope into the hearts of the forgotten and forlorn every day.
Pate is a freelance writer and author whose previous nine books include collaborations with well-known athletes such as Mike Singletary, Goose Gossage, Cynthia Cooper and Bob Watson. He has been published in numerous national magazines and has written many scripts. With a Bachelor of Business Administration and a master's degree from Texas Tech University, Pate lives in Dallas with his wife, Becky. The Daileys are available for media interviews, and members of the media and readers can tour the Austin Street Centre by appointment.
