Exceptionally moving book!,
This review is from: The Courage to Give: Inspiring Stories of People Who Triumphed over Tragedy to Make a Difference in the World (Paperback)
This book gives hope to those who are looking for examples of how other people deal with life's challenges. This book provided me insights to the "stories-behind-the stories" and will make you think about life differently after having read this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars
Truly inspirational!,
By Susan Kandell (dabronx101@aol.com) (Dallas,TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Courage to Give: Inspiring Stories of People Who Triumphed over Tragedy to Make a Difference in the World (Paperback)
Although I worked on this book with Jackie (I photographed many of the people who are profiled within), it is, of course difficult for me to be unbiased. But after meeting twenty of these exceptional people, it is hard to come away from this book untouched. They are truly an inspiration to us all, with Jackie at front of the class - leading the pack. I am thrilled to be associated with a book like this, a book that can motivate us all to get up and DO SOMETHING FOR OTHERS!
