The Great Cover-Up

For years, Joy Trachsel was a happy-enough, contented-enough suburban mom...until everything changed. In 2010 Joy began working at a homeless shelter, opening her eyes to see "the least of these" and sharing her heart with the down and out. In The Great Cover-Up, she shares the lessons she's learned about listening to God, discovering a calling, sharing the good news of Jesus, and building a "missional entourage" for the journey. Join Joy for a life-changing process of discovery as you dare to think about yourself, your God and your world in new ways.
