Summary
Jena Nardella, cofounder of Blood: Water and one of "Christianity Today"s 33 Under 33, shares a captivatingly honest ("Publishers Weekly") account of how her passion for saving the world grew into a humbler, long-term calling of loving the world in all its brokenness in this beautifully written memoir. Ten years ago, Jena Lee Nardella was a fresh-out-of-college, twenty-something with the lofty goal of truly changing the world. Armed with a diploma, a thousand dollars, and a dream to build one thousand wells in Africa, she joined forces with Grammy Award winning band Jars of Clay to found Blood: Water and begin her mission. Jena's dream for her nonprofit turned that initial $1 into $20, and then $100, and today into more than $25 million
