Review by Diane Busch

This is a book that I could hardly put down because it’s so relatable. I underlined and took notes on much of the content because I want to revisit, reread, and remember.

We all go through "stuff" in life, so we can all relate to the types of experiences Keion is writing about. He gives great perspective, encouragement, and advice.
     
At the end of each chapter there are thought provoking reflection questions followed by a prayer.

I highly recommend this book even if you are not currently going through a shift in life.  It will help prepare you for the next inevitable change or challenge that arises. 

I received an Advanced Reader’s Copy of the book from the publisher.

This pastor has learned so much in his years of living and working in inner cities. Now, as a seasoned pastor, he shares that knowledge and real stories of hope and change in this inspirational narrative. He is not condescending to those who may have done ministry a different way from his, but he does encourage you to take another look at how and why you do ministry the way you do. And he would challenge you to consider if there is another, unique or effective way which might yield better results.
