Praise for A Mission for Meaning:

"There is power in authenticity and vulnerability, and Gabe gifts that to his readers in spades. In sharing his struggles, from walking the valleys of depression to embarking on the journey to embrace failure as opportunity, he doesn't hold back. While Gabe's story is truly one of a kind, the themes are universal and relevant to today's generation in a big way."
