Synopsis
Almost 200 years ago, a teenager named George Williams launched the Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA) from a factory dorm room. Today, few know his name, and even fewer understand the passion and vision that launched a global nonprofit which still shines in 14,000 locations around the world.
"Dr. David Newman is arguably the most educated person in the world on the history and mission of the YMCA. He shares with us the aims and values of our YMCA founder and also gives us practical insight on how to further them in contemporary YMCA contexts." - Joshua Heaston, Director of Christian Mission, YMCA of Greater Indianapolis
"I cannot thank God enough for this book that will help us to recover our tremendous, relevant, and empowering Spiritual Heritage, rooted in the love of God, that brings transformation in the lives of young men and women in this hurting world."
-Caesar K. L. Molebatsi - Past President, World Alliance of YMCAs
Newman walks the reader through lost details of George Williams' life, bringing his legacy into the spotlight with practical teaching and inspiration for today's YMCA volunteers and leaders. He believes that if the YMCA will be true to its Christian mission and vision, the YMCA will shine even more brightly in a dark world.
