Rescue, Rebuild, Restore: A Compassionate Church Member's Guide to Loving the Least of These Wisely
By Suzanne Burns
What does it truly mean to love "the least of these" as Jesus calls us to in Matthew 25:40? In a world of poverty, trauma, addiction, and mental health struggles, compassion alone isn't enough-wisdom is essential.
Rescue, Rebuild, Restore
is a heartfelt and practical guide for church members, volunteers, and ministry leaders ready to serve those in crisis with grace, patience, and unwavering faith.
Drawing from her transformative work at Foundation House Ministries, author Suzanne Burns unveils the Rescue, Rebuild, Restore (RRR) framework-a God-inspired approach to rescuing the broken, rebuilding lives with dignity, and restoring hope for lasting change. With raw honesty, Burns shares stories of mothers and families in despair, revealing why they act the way they do, how the odds are stacked against them, and what it takes to help without being manipulated or burned out.
Rooted in biblical wisdom and seasoned with practical tools, this book tackles the tough questions: Why do good intentions sometimes fail? How do we love unconditionally without enabling? From debunking myths that trap us to navigating the emotional cycles of change, Burns equips you to serve your unique calling-whether it's the homeless on your streets, resilient kids in your neighborhood, or young families lost to drugs and fatherlessness.
More than a manual,
is a call to fall passionately in love with those God has placed in your path, laying down ego and false beliefs to partner with Him in their transformation. Discover why they're worth your sacrifice, how deeply the Lord loves them, and what you can do-big or small-to bring His promises to life. Are you ready to join the sacred journey of rescuing, rebuilding, and restoring souls, one heart at a time?
