Description: "'Don't make fund of a Nerd, he could become your boss, ' said Steve Jobs. And this could be true. Nerds are generally known for being obsessive and intelligent while at the same time being a little odd and having extravagant tastes. In this book you will find true and inspiring stories of young people who, while may seeming like 'Nerds' to everyone else, changed the world. In his methodical teaching style Edwin will show you the lives of several Bible characters to demonstrate that they are not very different than many of the young people you work with every day. At the end of each chapter the author will give you practical ideas that will help you, as a youth leader, to work fearlessly with this adolescent and help them to appreciate the unique way in which God created them"--Amazon.com.

"En estás páginas encontrarás historias reales e inspiradoras de jóvenes, que siendo "Nerds" para el resto, cambiaron el mundo. Edwin de una manera muy didáctica te llevará a ver la vida de varios personajes de la Biblia para mostrarte que no son tan diferentes a muchos de los jóvenes con quienes trabajas"--Page 4 of cover.
