I love the community engagement process (RASPPA) proposed here, especially the element of story. I'm going to need to revisit this book many times over, because the overlap between coaching and education is massive and speaks directly to my work and interests. This is an essential text for anybody doing community work, regardless of their involvement level with formal education or coaching.
