Reviews

[Jan]

A companion book to To Be Told, God invites you to coauthor your future. It works along with the main book, but is not essential to find value in the book by Dan Allender, President of the Mars Hill Graduate School in Seattle. His honesty and soft leading you to open up with your story, as a guide to your future. It is not heavy on scriptual, but is deeply interpersonal.

[Hank Pharis]

A good supplement to and and workbook for Dan Allender's To Be Told.
A good start but tough to pull off what they attempt here.
