    Imagine a school where the leaders in student government, academics, the arts, and sports brought out the best in themselves and their peers. Impossible?? Maybe not!

    Tommy Nelson's new PowerPak series by John C. Maxwell adapts for ages 10 - 14 the leadership techniques from Maxwell's New York Times bestseller Developing the Leader within You.

      What a Friend I Have in You

      Lenny didn’t have many friends. Most kids avoided him. He seemed to be very quiet and dressed differently from the other kids. One day, Fred noticed Lenny was always alone. Fred had decided to take seriously the idea of building friendships for the kingdom of God and possibly leading those friends to Christ and into a close walk with Him. He sat down at Lenny’s lunch table, where Lenny was munching on a sub sandwich.

      Hey, Fred said as he sat down nearby. Lenny responded by turning away.

      Want some chips? I have two bags, Fred said, pushing a small bag of chips toward Lenny.

      Looking at the chips with curiosity, Lenny turned to stare into Fred’s eyes. What do you want? he muttered.

      Just thought you might like some chips is all, he said. I’m Fred.

      Flintstone? Lenny said.

      Fred cracked up. Yeah, I get that a lot. No, actually it’s Martin. Nothing spectacular.

      They ate in silence. Fred finished his lunch and said, Well, see you tomorrow. And he started to leave.

      Lenny grabbed Fred’s arm. What do you want?

      A friend, Fred said.

      Why me?

      Why not?

      Lenny stared up at Fred with skeptical but sad eyes. Everybody wants something.

      Fred shrugged. I like to make friends.

      Before Lenny could answer, Fred turned and walked to the trash cans.

      Later that afternoon, he said hello to Lenny in the hall and then spotted him again on the way
