Not Beyond Our Reach Melodie Bissell

Not Beyond Our Reach is a great, easy read for children and youth leaders and educators as it unveils the world of at-risk children who feel "not-so-average." It is a standalone resource to help people think and minister missionally, along with suggestions on bridging conversations. Not Beyond Our Reach (Book One) is a leader's guide complement to the diary Confessions of a Not-So-Average Girl by Donna Lea Dyck, (ISBN 978-1-77069-336-4). Not Beyond Our Reach: Provides understanding of why some children and youth in your classroom are not responsive to your teaching and applications. Deepens your understanding of the DNA of at risk youth and children. Brings clarity on how to reach and teach at-risk youth effectively. Equips educators, ministers, and youth sponsors with a leader's guide to be used in conjunction with Confessions of a Not-So-Average Girl. "...youth workers, pastors and especially teenage girls who face the broken world of adolescent pain will find this book very helpful in bringing the hope that only Jesus can provide. I know I will use these books in our ministry to families in the government housing neighbourhoods we serve. These books will make a difference in so many lives." - Rev. Colin McCartney, Founding Director, UrbanPromise Toronto
