I met Liz more than a decade ago in Gulu, Uganda. Beginner s Pluck is a thoughtful book about what Liz has been strategically doing in the world, not merely optimistically hoping for. Her authentic voice is one I trust because Ive seen what shes done. As you flip these pages, you wont want to be more like Liz. Instead, youll want to figure out what your next steps are to release your passions, hopes, and love into a world which is in desperate need of someone just like you to engage it.
