"Excellent book which really shows how committed Wess Stafford is to taking care of children as CEO of Compassion International; reveals how each of us can touch a child with "just a minute" moments for the good or bad, and how we can use our own experiences to create good ones in their lives."

" Great book of stories showing how just one comment and/or moment can impact a child forever. Loved the book! It is motivating! I especially want to connect with my grandkids, of course, but this book makes me realize how profound our words can be to a person of any age. "

" Once you read this book, you will be very conscious of every word you say to a child. It is very powerful. "Every child you encounter is a divine appointment." "

" Great stories! Teachers and anyone who works with children should especially enjoy Stafford's book. Perhaps deserving of a fourth star. I laughed and I cried. "

" It's amazing to think how just a brief interaction with a child can make an eternal impact. This book is filled with stories and testimonies of real life examples. You will view your interactions with children differently and will be challenged by the action steps at the end of the book. "
— Ben, 2/9/2012 -
" This book will take you through an entire array of emotions. It will make you laugh, it will make you cry; most importantly, it will move you to make a difference for Christ in the lives of everyone you meet, but especially those children in your path. "
