Reviews

[Andrew Canavan · Rating 3 out of 5]

I read this mainly for the contributions by Kent Hughes and Ben Patterson, two pastors I respect a great deal. There are many nuggets of wisdom to be found, but the concept the book was going for made it a little disjointed (which is not the fault of any of the contributors).
