In HOPE LIVES HERE, Bob Burrows chronicles the complete story of the history of one of the Downtown Eastside's most important institutions with unparalleled first-hand knowledge.This is a must-read for those who have supported, admired or received assistance from the venerable First United Church." -Reviewed by Lori Culbert.

No church in Canada has generated more news coverage for more years than Vancouver's First United. That has everything to do with its location in the heart of the infamous Downtown Eastside and with its role as caregiver and defender of the poor, the needy and the homeless inhabitants of Canada's poorest postal code. Like Mother Teresa's mission to the slums of Calcutta, the First United seizes its position among the marginalized as an opportunity to serve and has proven a shining example of humanitarian activism for 125 years.
