Eskenazi gives a behind-the-scenes look into the journalistic techniques that go into crafting a story, as well as the pitfalls reporters fall into.

Along the way, Eskenazi discusses interviewing other reluctant subjects and writing under the intense pressure of a deadline.

That’s because joy doesn’t come from a new self-improvement strategy; it comes from rooting their identity in who God says they are and what he has done on their behalf.
