The Most Powerful

2538) When I taught Jr. High kids, we read a book that described the life of a teen who was captured by Stalin’s NKVD and eventually was held in a camp in Siberia. Because I wanted the kids to consider the strong message of the story, before we read any of it, I held an

Relational Peace
