For more than three decades Jimmy McPhail has listened with an ear of disbelief as minority victims and witnesses shared their stories. While the plot and the characters changed, the theme always remained the same. Themes of injustice, hatred and discrimination were the three most reoccurring themes. From verbal and physical abuse, workplace discrimination and even police brutality, the residents of LaGrange have seen it all. Some have been threatened, others beaten, and a few killed. For far too many years, these people have been the recipients of unfair and unjust treatment. Many of them are now dead and gone, yet their stories live on. The Streets of LaGrange is a compilation of their delicate and intricately woven stories.

Of course, Christians have a crisis! As human beings, we are surrounded by temptation, we all make mistakes and we all suffer with trials in our lives. Unfortunately, there are well-intended Christians who attempt to minister to those suffering or in crisis without realizing how their words of wisdom could actually be counterproductive and potentially harmful.
This book is a resource for ministry leaders, parents, teachers, and caregivers regarding mental illness, chronic pain abortion, abuse, and addictions. It also covers marital and family issues. There are facts included throughout the book to reveal the prevalence of each topic and listed resources to increase knowledge in those areas. Scripture is included throughout the book to provide solid Christian counsel through each topic.
If someone came up to you today to reveal they are considering suicide or that they are addicted to porn or prescribed drugs, would you know what to say to them? What if someone wants to talk to you because they believe their spouse is having an affair, or a mother believes her child is being molested or bullied, or their adult child is being abused by their spouse? Would you know how to advise them? Are your words subjective? Are they productive? Are your words factual and scriptural?
As a church, we need to teach that Christ is a loving and forgiving God. We need to have compassion for the misunderstood. As a church, we need to be knowledgeable of current fads, and common problems in societies and families so we know how to respond to crises appropriately. As a church, we need to encourage a safe environment for those in need. We need to minister to people with open minds and open hearts. And we need to know when it is time to reach out for professional help.
