This review is from: Becoming a Contagious Christian, Youth Edition Cd-Rom package (Paperback)

Contagious Christian materials are one of the best resources available to equip normal Christians to reach their world. Unfortunately, this youth edition is dated in its style.

Great material that needs an update.
