Customer Reviews
Great talks for youth leaders
Review by Dave Griffith-Jones | 14.05.2008
Being a cheapskate I didn't make it to the conference, but have loved these recordings. Hawkins is fantastic - it's just his books but in the right accent, heart warming stuff. Also particularly recommended are the sessions on self-harm and teaching Proverbs to youth and children. Thanks for making these available - now for the 2008 talks!
