Summary
It was transition time for Denise, a young pastor's wife. She had moved from the south with her husband Timothy to work with street children and a run-down urban church near Boston. Struggling to settle in, she finds one person in particular hard to love as he gatecrashes her dinner party and seems determined to make life difficult. The children name this eccentric homeless man "Johnny Cornflakes." However, God is the one who can change people and situations often in surprising and very unexpected ways. Based on a true story, this will warm your heart.
