“ The Purpose Gap is much more than a book about overcoming challenges and the importance of mentorship: it is an invitation to wholeness…. For Reyes, bridging the purpose gap is one thing, but thriving on the other side, whole, is the true testimony.”
—Theresa S. Thames, Associate Dean of Religious Life and of the Chapel, Princeton University

Intended for pastors, organizational leaders, and educators, The Purpose Gap helps leaders recognize the structural obstacles to thriving faced by those in marginalized communities. Patrick B. Reyes offers advice on creating safe space for failure, nurturing networks that support young people of color, and professional guidance for how to implement these strategies in one's congregation, school, or community organization.
