THE DEAFENING SOUND OF SILENT TEARS tells for the first time the story of a remarkable group of people who, through their commitment to follow the example of Jesus Christ in embracing those whom society rejects, have made a dramatic difference to the lives of thousands of young people. Many of them have learning difficulties or mental health problems. Many had experienced years of unimaginable abuse - physical, sexual, and mental. Some had drifted into crime, others into homelessness or addiction. By treating them all as made in God's image, transformation has occurred in countless lives.

Twenty years ago, the pastor and children's worker in a Leeds Baptist Church founded 'Caring For Life' to offer homes to the homeless, meaningful and therapeutic employment to those unable to find paid work, and unconditional love to people who had never been loved or were difficult to love. Most importantly, they promised that their support would last for life.

Today over three thousand people have benefited from that promise. In contrast to the widespread belief in punishment as the fashionable answer to soaring rates of addiction and crime, 'Caring For Life' has achieved an outstanding success rate of over 90% in preventing a return to homelessness or re-offending. The story of how this has been achieved - the tragedies and triumphs, the tears and the laughter - is the subject of this dramatic and touching book.
