Book Review: What Difference Do It Make

I read What Difference Do It Make a while back and never got around to writing a review, which is bad since I got the book for free if I wrote a review. I’ve actually done a terrible job writing reviews this year (and blogging in general here). I actually wrote my Amazon review back [...]
