When God Steps In

His life was going nowhere fast. Reduced to begging and dependent on compassion from strangers, he had no one to depend on, no one to trust in and no hope for change. In that day, there was no cure. But one day, all that changed for blind Bartimaeus. Jesus stepped in to his story.
