Every day, thousands of forward-thinking Christians are making a difference in eternity by being relevant to their culture. They've been called "roaring lambs," those who infiltrate and impact their world with their faith. We call them relevant. I Am Relevant profiles a wide range of people ages 18-34 who in some way break the walls of tradition in fulfilling the Great Commission. You'll find a profile of a famous rock star; flip the page and read about a prize-winning cage fighter, an environmentalist or an MTV staffer. Each is a statement of faith and a testimony of grace. These people are making a difference, and this book shares their stories. In its pages, you'll find inspiration to make your own. Book jacket.
