    About this ebook

Tim Downs suggests practical ways for today's Christians to cultivate fruitful relationships in our communities, and bring our troubled culture the healing it needs so much.

    • 5/5
      Excellent book with real, practical information on not being afraid to build relationships and on sowing seeds in the lives of others.
    • 5/5
      Every modern Christian with a desire to share his or her faith should read this book. It's first about not burning bridges and then about building real ones. For Christians who care and care enough to care well.
