John Cyril Adams is the founder of Streetside Showers in Florida. Raised in Melbourne, Florida, John spent his professional career in restaurant management and healthcare. His life took a profound new direction when he and his wife, Nancy, gave their lives to Christ, leading John to study at Colorado Christian University as an older student.

Guided by a series of lifelong "mini-miracles"—including miraculously surviving a near-drowning at age thirteen and avoiding a fatal car crash—John learned to recognize the quiet, protective hand of God in his life. Hearing a persistent nudge to "do something" for the homeless community, he partnered with the founders of Streetside Showers in Texas to bring a mobile shower trailer to his own city.

Today, he operates the ministry alongside a dedicated network of volunteers and his wife Nancy, whom he lovingly calls his "rock" and the "heart behind the showers". John never set out to be a writer. He penned this book at the urging of a fellow pastor who insisted that these stories needed to be documented so that the people of the streets would be seen, known, and remembered
