Use it to prompt discussions during team meetings. A message that we at INCM remind leaders of is that we [the whole children’s and family ministry community] are each other’s greatest resource. We have so much we can learn from one another. In All About Family Ministry, Keith gathers together many voices of this community and offers to the reader their wisdom, passion, experience, and vision…and we all get to benefit from it! I highly encourage you to dig into this helpful and inspiring collection of wisdom for leading family ministry today. Michayla White, Executive Director, International Network of Children’s Ministry
