“Tony Beard addresses the very real and ongoing dismissal of youth potential within the church. He gives practical advice to Christians on how to advance in the face of pushback and even persecution. By tapping into that God-given calling, Beard provides a roadmap for how to progress with love and resolve, both inside and outside the four walls of the church.”

—Daniel Sheard, Superintendent, Mount Calvary Christian School, Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania



“If you are a youth, have a youth, or ever were a youth, this book is a must-read. The truths and timeless advice found in Let No One Despise You will add significant value to your Christian walk. I highly recommend you pick up this book for yourself and for a youth in your life.”

—William C. Verdon, Pastor of Discipleship, Faith Bible Fellowship Church, Lancaster, Pennsylvania



“Young adults who are walking in the ways of Jesus and who are seeking to ‘keep in step’ with the Holy Spirit are indeed a vital part of the body of Christ—his church—and can do great things to demonstrate God’s love to a world desperately in need of it. . . . Young adults, in these pages you’ll find the affirmation to press hard into your God-ordained call into the local church. Pastors and other local church leaders, you’ll be encouraged toward and reminded of the blessing your young adults are to the body of Christ.”

—Eric Miller, Lead Pastor, Bloomsburg Christian Church
