Not recognizing the power of our words makes it harder for us to trust and serve one another―to love one another.

His research and contextualization of the cultural background to the New Testament is as practical for today as it is urgent.

In DBAFD, Milstein asserts that it’s incumbent upon leadership to promote and model strong, meaningful relationships throughout the community.
