"There's a lot to learn from these awesome "dead guys"! They finished the race well and did their part (through Christ's strength) to change the world despite personal hardship and fierce opposition. A great encouragement to buck up and quit being so thin-skinned in the Lord's service! "
— Beth (5 out of 5 stars)
