Shame and disgrace had taken a toll in her young life, heart and soul. She had lost all hope from the pain and struggles at such a tender young age that she contemplated suicide on many occasions. Her life seemed to be spiraling down a slippery slope of no return. Each day she stared in a mirror at a pale reflection of emptiness that gave her no reason to live or have hope for a brighter tomorrow. Her heart wrenching home situation of abuse, lack of love, insecurity and turmoil drove her into a deep anger that almost destroyed her life. Her world was shaken and turned upside down and she felt there was no one she could turn to for help or advice. Yet, something deep inside continually nudged her along the way to continue her fight for survival. It took an extreme amount of energy to push the mess of life and the tears of rejection and abuse out of sight in order to maintain her sanity. The longing in Joyce's tender heart for a better tomorrow was a driving force that would keep her from abandoning all hope.

Book excerpt: Phnom Penh, the capital city of Cambodia, grows rich through tourism and economic development and yet denies food and shelter to thousands of children living in squalor on its streets. The citys government and high society are uninterested in the problem or its solution, leaving these children to fend for themselves in a harsh and uncaring world. / In From a Childs Eyes, author John A. Stancik recounts his experiences of traveling to Phnom Penh for a month. He provides not only firsthand accounts of the deprivation he witnessed among the children of the city but also striking photographs that demonstrate the widespread nature of the problem. As the thriving city struggles to balance its economic growth and tourism with an increasingly poor population, religious family values, and the shame of its shantytowns, few among well-off Cambodians recognize the problem at all. Until capital from tourism can be used to build social programs for everyone, the homeless population will continue to live in the citys landfills, and dirty and crippled children will roam the streets without hope or help. In this personal narrative, one man recalls his time in Phnom Penh and reveals the depth of the problem facing thousands of homeless children in an otherwise prosperous city.

Book excerpt: A child’s early years lay the foundation for nurturing a child’s faith and planting the seeds of how they are valued in God’s eyes. The insights of how children think and how they process the world around them help us to meet their needs while building trust. The first five years form the basis for this trust. They are learning everything—from walking, talking, understanding, feeling, learning right from wrong, and mastering the English language. They live in a world of fantasy where anything is possible. Children tend to believe anything we tell them without question! That is why we must be especially careful what we say to them. Self-evaluation of our personalities, our journey through life, and how all this has molded our faith and affected our communication can help us raise our children. We can learn to be more sensitive to the little soul God has given us. These little ones are like a new journal, and as parents, we get the blessing to write on the first pages of a child’s life. These are the tender years. These years are the foundation of a child’s view of themself, their faith, and the world around them.
