Review
"e;I am convinced that there is no way to have an intimate, dynamic, and fruitful relationship with God, apart from the truths Nancy presents in this book. I saw this firsthand when, in the summer of 1995, He used her message on brokenness to impact the staff of Campus Crusade for Christ in a way I could never have imagined."e;
-Bill Bright, Campus Crusade for Christ
"e;Nancy has my enthusiastic applause and heartfelt blessing as she seeks to fan into flame the fire of revival through her teaching on brokenness."e;
