The world is always looking for a demonstration of love and leadership, and Northfield has a leader who takes up that responsibility even when it means doing hard things. Come be drawn into this beautifully complicated town and be reminded of the beauty of our own complicated world and our ability to be a force in it.</p><p>TOMI ROBB, Actress and Law Student</p><p>Rick's message of grace and truth have been life changing for me personally. I'm thankful others get to experience his wisdom through this captivating story of redemptive leadership. It's a must for coaches, teachers, parents and leaders.</p><p>SHANE WELLS, High School Basketball Coach</p><p>Rick Dunn does a masterful job using a story of redemption and inspiration to teach life lessons to all of us. The Northfield Maxims apply to every walk of life. Although the Maxims are hugely important, do not lose the other lessons in this story. "Your life will expand to the size of your why" has had a huge impact on my life, leadership, and occupation. A big "Why" = A big life! Masterfully done. "</p><p>DR. JOHN BARTLETT, High School Principal</p><p>The Northfield Way had me hooked immediately! Rick does a brilliant job of crafting a relatable story that effortless flows from page to page and chapter to chapter. We live in a world that at times is quite grievous and can leave one feeling hopeless and helpless at the end of certain days. This book reminds us that there is definitely hope and that flawed people can still be used to be culture changers and culture creators. As I traversed the pages I realized that I knew the characters. Even Coach Mac, who is larger than life, is someone that I have known and been influenced by. He is not some superhero but is someone who has not done everything perfectly. His imperfections made me cheer for him on and off the court, and I was also moved to appreciate his integrity despite his imperfections. There are good people in this world-even in our local communities. This book reminded me of that and encouraged me to be one of those people.</p><p>KEITH NORMAN, Pastor<br /> <br /> America today harbors many issue driven, polarized community's - defining themselves on how one side uses blame and scourge to define the other. Here Dunn tells a story of what real leadership looks like when built on Truth & Grace. In so doing, he outlines the possibilities of what community and relationships - of all beliefs - can look like in this life, and certainly what they'll look like in the next life.</p><p>GUILLE CRUZE, CEO and Entrepreneur </p><p> </p><p> </p><br>
