Boot Prints on the Heart chronicles 25 years of ministry to youth who've experienced trauma. Be ready to cry, laugh and cheer as you read stories of transformation and hope from Teen Reach Adventure Camp and T.R.A.C.life mentoring.

As Wendy McMahan, President of For The Children, so beautifully writes in the foreword, "Boot prints on the heart aren't just metaphorical. They represent the indelible marks left by every adult who chooses to step into the life of a hurting teenager, every volunteer who sacrifices weekend comfort for canvas tent ministry and every donor who invests in futures that might otherwise be lost."

Jada is one of countless teenagers who encountered Jesus at Teen Reach Adventure Camp and penned a poem featured in Boot Prints on the Heart. She writes of "a man who has seen life" who sits with us in the "weight of sorrow suffocating" and wipes our tears "with his very human and very calloused hands" as "grace plants flowers in our souls."

If you're inspired by Jada's poem and the stories recorded within these pages, more teens around the country are looking for hope and a future. Join the Teen Reach family today and help us leave more boot prints on the heart over the next 25 years.
