The student becomes the teacher.’ This is evidenced in Dr. Lisa Vosper’s powerful book, A Mustard Seed Experience: Activating Your Faith to Unleash the Authority and Power Within. Lisa’s experience in the Louisiana State University (LSU) doctoral program in educational administration, coupled with her overall experience as an activist Christian clearly reflect this truism.

Forgiveness is not just an act of kindness; it is a fundamental aspect of faith activation,’ writes Dr. Lisa Vosper in her new text A Mustard Seed Experience.

For the past eight years I have been involved in the work of reconciliation from Jesuit slaveholding.

Dr. Vosper offers us her “total commitment of self,” as she breaks down for us her own personal experience with forgiveness. Christians are taught the mustard seed’s potential to become a mighty tree. This book will give its readers the strength to grow as disciples, to reach their potential, and heal a broken world.
