Every now and again, I come across a book that that smack's me upside the heart and SQUAT, by Taylor Field, really did.

It’s not that I’ve ever been homeless, but I’ve poured my heart into more than a few kids who seemed addicted to life on the streets. These youth were often lost in the Foster Care system, were escaping some kind of abuse at home, or maybe they were on the run from the law.

SQUAT is based on twenty-four hours in the life of Squid, a homeless man on the streets of New York City. For Squid, life is filled with hopelessness and danger.

But then, Rachel, a worker from the Soup Kitchen, tells him about God’s love for him. Can Squid break free from the tragic reality that holds him captive? You’ll have to read the book to find out.

All proceeds earned from the sales of SQUAT go to Graffiti Community Ministries, a homeless-outreach of the East Seventh Street Baptist Church, where Taylor Field Pastors.
