Through relevant case studies, vivid stories, practical postures, and transformational prayers, you'll be equipped with what you need to keep being changed by Christ to change those around you."--Kara Powell, PhD, chief of leadership formation at Fuller Theological Seminary and coauthor of Faith Beyond Youth Group
