Keri Wyatt Kent said...: I've read Just a Minute (wow!) and got to hear Dr. Stafford at Willow this weekend. What a powerful message--it motivated me even more to be an advocate for children! You can watch the entire message at http://media.willowcreek.org/
or visit the books' website at http://justaminute.com.
I love that all the proceeds from this book go to Compassion to help kids!; January 23, 2012 at 7:56 AM
