Too Small to Ignore: Why the Least of These Matters Most - Paperback

by Wess Stafford (Author), Dean Merrill (With)

Too Small to Ignore will encourage you to turn your good, loving intentions into strategic actions and empower you to help change the world-and the future-forever, one child at a time.

The time has come for a major paradigm shift: Children are too important and too intensely loved by God to be left behind or left to chance. Children belong to all of us and we are compelled to intervene on their behalf. We must invest in children all across the world. In Too Small to Ignore, Dr. Stafford issues an urgent call for change. His adventures as a boy raised in a West African village provide an often-humorous and always-captivating backdrop to his profound and inspiring challenges. Wess lived the reality of "it takes a village to raise a child" and calls us to "be that loving village for children everywhere."
