How can we hope to work together when we can't even understand each other?
This book provides the tools to:
1. Get the most out of the strengths of each age group on your team.
2. Foster effective communication instead of isolation among people.
3. Build bridges rather than walls so that loneliness becomes connectedness.
4. Connect people to learn how both veterans and rookies can mentor each other.

In his own words, Dickson acts as an art curator in a gallery, presenting each of these "works of art" in their best light and letting each have their say. Along the way, he demonstrates the importance of religion in general—to society and to individual believers—and addresses many of the universal questions that all of these serious and ancient religions ask:
Who are we?
What is our worth?
How should we live?
Are we alone?
At the end of each section is a bibliography of helpful books and websites for those who are interested in learning even more.
