Written in 2001, it’s a little outdated with old examples, comics, and stories but the principles are still relevant. What a great attempt to help junior high and high schoolers improve their leadership skills! Which other leader has even thought of passing these valuable tools down to our young people in such a deliberate and far-teaching way? It’s been a good resource for teaching junior high Sunday School when many are still in a following stage.
