Steve Lobrovich has written an excellent book that challenges people to think seriously and strategically about crucial issues. The book “Teaching Faith Without Preaching Faith,” is written in a very readable style, creatively utilizes short chapters, plus contains narratives about the truths related that illustrate so well. My favorite chapters were: Having Class, Marriage – Taking the Plunge, and The Atheist(s) in Your Life. Such good material for readers of ALL ages! Bravo, Steve – wish I could have read the book 50 years ago!
