“Trust First” is a thought-provoking exploration of how trust can be a powerful tool in transforming people’s lives, particularly those who are often marginalized or overlooked by society. The book focuses on the story of Bruce Deel, who took an unconventional approach to helping the homeless and disenfranchised in Atlanta by offering unconditional trust. Deel’s journey from a pastor to the founder of City of Refuge, an organization that provides support and services to those in need, illustrates the incredible potential of trust to rebuild lives, foster community, and create lasting change.
