Following the example of Jesus, Tripp reveals how to get to know people, and how to lovingly speak truth to them.

The Hebrew word for manna literally means, “What is it?” God would provide this heavenly food for the Israelites day in and day out for forty years! The Psalmist puts it this way as he recalls this incredible period in Israel’s history, “He rained down manna for them to eat; he gave them bread from heaven. They ate the food of angels!
