Book Cover & Preview Text
This book is for those who want to discover a life that offers something far greater than just fitting in. Because the human spirit, at it’s deepest place, does not desire to “fit in”, it only settles for fitting in once society has convinced us that it’s our only option. The truth, however, is that there is something better than fitting in. There is something much deeper that we long for at the center of our hearts, and that is to receive the gift of authentic love, and this gift is possible and available, even in today’s world. I have seen it.
For eight summers I watched and studied and learned from the experts on this subject. Everything I’ve learned about the authentic love of God, I learned from kids and students ages 8-18 during weeklong summer camps in Chicago’s surrounding suburbs. These are the misfits, these are the challengers, these are the so-called “failures” who live outside the norm because they know there is a different way, a more authentic way.
This is what they taught me…

About the Book
Jesus talks about having a child-like faith. The phrase always confused me until I spent eight summers working with children at summer camp in northern Illinois. After all that time of trying to teach them about Jesus, I have come to one conclusion: they had more to teach me. I hope they teach you something as well.
