Outreach Awards recognize Kregel Publications titles

I found out this week my most recent book, Join the Movement, has been named a finalist for Outreach Magazine’s Resource of the Year in the youth outreach category.  I am grateful that my efforts to challenge and encourage youth to live for Jesus has been so recognized. The true award, of course, is in the lives of those who advance the movement of God around the world. Here is the press release from Kregel:
