book is the outcome of the project "The Bible
on the Ground" in Christ the King Parish, Nairobi.

try to follow Christ, to cope with daily life and
to improve their living conditions in the spirit of
Christ and the Gospel.

and for the people. But like these prophets, he was
shocked by those who did not care for others and lived
only for profit.

based on a particular situation, this book can be
of inspiration for all those who work in difficult
