Description
The central theme of this book is what it means to serve Christ with all one's heart, then and now. The point is to see how the task has changed, what the challenges are, what really matters and what is secondary. It is easy to fight yesterday's battles! The authors are well able to make this assessment, with Clive's extensive world experience and Gavin's connection with today's generation through his work with Youth for Christ.
