COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Oct. 4, 2012 /Christian Newswire/ -- Outreach, Inc., e3 Partners Ministry, and Thomas Nelson join forces to bring you the I Am Second Church Kit exclusively through Outreach, Inc.

"I Am Second is a movement meant to inspire people from all walks of life to live for God and for others," says I Am Second founder, Norm Miller. "The majority of those involved with I Am Second are everyday folks found at businesses, schools, community groups and churches. Those who are featured on the site graciously lend their names and stories so that others might be inspired to find the same freedom and sense of purpose they have found in Jesus."

Based on the book by Doug Bender and David Sterrett titled, I Am Second: Real Stories. Changing Lives, (Thomas Nelson, January, 2012) the I Am Second project shares the stories of real people who reached the end of their strength, the end of their control, and found the most surprising truths. Shocking in their honesty, inspiring in their courage, these testimonies are critical reminders that no one is too far from God to find Him. (www.iamsecond.com)
