But tomorrow you may not have access to them in the corridors of power they might occupy. Now is the time to shape the future.??Dr. Stafford issues an urgent call for change.

THIS is a book that has changed my life and compelled my love for children to flourish even more. The boo is a testimony of the life of Wes Stafford. The most amazing thing is that I had the privilege of meeting the author Wes Stafford in real life and he completely matched up with his humble, compassionate persona in the book. I bought 10 copies of this and gave it to everyone in Youth and Kids ministry- it is a must for all who serve in these areas.
