Adam S.

Your body houses your spirit, and that spirit is the part of you that supernaturally interacts with God.

Can ordinary people make a lasting impact on the world around them? Matthew Barnett's answer is an emphatic Yes! In One Small Step, he shows that it is not as daunting as one might think.
