The Patchwork Saints Companion is a brand new weekly devotional for leaders, helpers, and everyday heroes showing up in a world that rarely slows down!

Some people spend their lives chasing applause. Jim Kerr has spent his time walking the quieter roads, looking after folks who arrive tired, tangled, and unsure if they deserve another chance. For decades, he worked in the far edges of the social-service world, the places where hope shows up late but still knocks anyway. He has walked through long prison corridors, echoing shelter hallways, rehab intake rooms, and tiny office corners where a person finally says out loud what hurts. He carries the stories of those years the way a man might carry smooth river stones in his pocket, polished by time, by memory, and by the belief that every life, no matter how battered, holds a small bright spark that refuses to go out. Jim writes the way he served. With gentleness. With humor that never bruises. With a steady, unshakable belief that people can become whole again. His work honors the folks he has helped, worked beside, and learned from. They are the quiet heroes at the center of every page he creates. Jim tells stories and shares hard-won wisdom for those who’ve been through a few storms of their own. His book offers warmth for the heart and tools for the journey, helping readers find both meaning and momentum again.
