Silent Steps

Silent Steps is the inspirational book of one man's effort to try to spotlight the epidemic of violence that is jeopardizing the safety and the future of our nation. In a courageous effort to gain the attention of our nation's leaders, Randy Sargent walked over 500 miles from Buffalo NY to Washington D. C, carrying the names of homicide victims from across our nation. After every mile Randy walked, he placed a footprint with a victim's name on it as a visual reminder of the lives that have been lost to homicide. This 500-mile walking memorial was called "The Voices of Homicide Memorial Walk to Washington D. C". What began as a memorial walk, ended up being a powerful and life-changing spiritual journey with God. Along the way Randy realized that no matter how far we walk or march, true change cannot take place unless the heart of man is transformed by Jesus Christ. With the help of God, Randy was shown that the increasing violence of our nation is a direct result of our society's attempt to remove God and prayer from all aspects of life. This powerful and thought provoking book will challenge our Church, communities, and the conscience of our nation. Randy's courage, passion, and his love for the community will be felt as you read this book and re-walk the 58-day journey with him. Silent Steps is certain to capture it's readers as Randy gives a testimony of how God had chosen him to be a voice for the voiceless. Randy Sargent is a community activist, and the current Youth Pastor at Victory International Assembly of God, in Buffalo NY. Since returning home from the "Voices of Homicide Memorial Walk to Washington D. C", Randy has been invited to many speaking engagements to share his powerful testimony. He currently lives in the City of Buffalo, and is married to his beautiful wife Seraphine and has two daughters Shai and Kaze.
