Description:
-- AAUP 2005 Public & Secondary School Library Selection -- From H-Net "Masse's strengths as a journalist will make this book valuable to those who want information about movers and shakers who embody the better angels of our nature. The lives of those he profiles challenge modern-day cynicism that individuals are powerless against the daunting web of complex problems and injustices within our communities. They illustrate the wisdom of Margaret Mead's famous admonition, 'Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world. Indeed it's the only thing that ever has.' -- August 2006 "`Never underestimate the good you can do,' Rabbi Steve Foster tells his Denver congregation in Mark H. Mass?'s Inspired to Serve, and it is the book's message, as well." --Melissa Fay Greene, author of Praying for Sheetrock,The Temple Bombing, and Last Man Out "Anyone who wants to know more about how diverse religious organizations perform civic good works should read this excellent account." --John J. DiIulio, Jr., University of Pennsylvania "Powerful, real-life stories of people of faith serving and empowering the poor." --Ronald J. Sider, President, Evangelicals for Social Action ". . . a fine collection of biographical material that will keep you intrigued, prayerful, and convicted until you, too, take up a godly cause for others. Read at your own risk!"--(The Rev.) Jeffrey A. Mackey, Living Church
