In the end, God will have made us all better for it! That's what happens in this thought-provoking book. This grace-filled, five-way conversation is powerful and challenging. Not only will it force you to evaluate and adjust your own model of ministry, it offers a model for how to generously and humbly 'talk amongst yourselves, ' particularly with those with whom you don't agree.\"\u003cbr\u003e--\u003cb\u003eWalt Mueller\u003c\/b\u003e, Center for Parent\/Youth Understanding \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"When I read a book by Chap Clark, I know I'm going to read a book that is thoughtful, theologically sound, and pulsing with the heart of a youthworker.
