This inspirational book guides readers through a transformative journey from mere survival to meaningful service, from enduring pain to discovering purpose, and from aimless wandering to walking in divine leadership. Through heartfelt stories, spiritual insights, and practical tools, Dr. Boyd emphasizes that true leadership begins with humility.
