The Beauty of Christ through Brokenness (ePub)

Dr. K.P. Yohannan (or KP Yohannan) has been crisscrossing the globe for the past 40 years, challenging the Body of Christ to discipleship. His call to a radical lifestyle—with an all-out commitment to Jesus—has left its impact on nearly every continent.
