Sommario/riassunto

First Published in 2017. In this new book, Ramsey and Blieszner invite readers to renew their acquaintance with the eight women of the



previous book and to meet eight men who, like the women, were nominated by their pastors as being people the pastors would want to speak with in times of spiritual crisis.
