Rating: Summary: Find meaning in your life and change the world Review: Read this book to celebrate humanity. The stories inspire us all to offer our gifts to others. Bob Parks' story "You Got Another One, Joey" moved me to examine denied prejudices in my life. Charlene Baldridge's story "Beyond the Huddle," showed me not to pass up opportunities to make a difference and Pooja Krishna's,"Forgive Me Davey," gave me a chilling look at what may happen if I turn away. I highly recommend this book for a look at how we can change the world one deed at a time.
Rating: Summary: Helping to Revive Our Hope Review: Sheltered by the walls of academia, I had forgotten that the writing process itself is a mantra of social change, that our awakenings lead to a more united world. Reading the poignant and inspirational stories submitted to Chicken Soup for the Volunteer's Soul reminded me of the many people who give selflessly of themselves, who teach us that heroes are everywhere we cast our eyes. Janet I. Buck, Ph.D.
