SANDRA T. MONTES has a doctorate in education and has taught in public schools for more than twenty years. Involved in multicultural or multilingual churches since childhood, she knows that congregations or groups who utilize REAL relationships will be successful and grow. She lives in Sugar Land, Texas.

"Montes' insights, recommended activities, checklists of self-evaluative questions, and suggested small group devotion make this book an excellent resource for any Vestry, ministry planning group, or church planters." —Hart T. Roussel, Anglican Theological Review

“Dr. Sandra T. Montes is a prophetic and fearless evangelist who loves God’s people and God’s church. Her use of personal stories and anecdotes shines a loving and sometimes harsh light on the ways that our good intentions may fall flat—and she offers practical and insightful strategies for moving forward in a more authentic and sustainable way. If your church or ministry needs an infusion of new energy, you must read this book!”—Heidi J. Kim, Director of Talent and Organizational Culture at Propel Nonprofits in Minneapolis, Minnesota
