Identity is who we are. Purpose is what we do. Community is how we bless and are blessed by others.

The understanding and application of these key terms are invaluable to promoting a holistic perspective in all we are and do. They help us in the hard work of investing in people, just like King David did for his best friend's son, Mephibosheth. The "IPC" model within these pages gives parents, teachers, and mentors inspiring ideas and practical instruction for how to live intentional lives that produce peace and gratitude. John's stories of how God has provided over the years through so many will encourage readers to realize they can freely give as they have been freely given.
