Book Description

Forged in the Fire March 19, 2002
“I had always assumed that heroism was reserved for the very few, but I no longer believe that to be true. I have come to believe that heroism is clearly attainable to each of us–that all we have to do to become heroes is, with God’s help, to grow into the ideal each of us harbors in our hearts.” –Joe Wheeler, from Everyday Heroes

In the timeless tradition of Joe Wheeler’s previous anthologies, Volume 2 of his Forged in the Fire series takes you on a succession of fascinating journeys into personal courage–stories that will inspire you, too, to think, act, and live with moral courage in the face of everyday challenges and extraordinary crises.

These 21 stories–many certifiably true, others inspired by real-life experiences–spotlight ordinary men, women, and children who met a moment or season of challenge with extraordinary honor and courage. You and your loved ones will be inspired and emboldened to also “do the right thing”–no matter the cost–as you encounter crossroads in your own lives.

This review is from: Everyday Heroes: Inspiring Stories of Ordinary People Who Made a Difference (Forged in the Fire) (Hardcover)

Some of the stories were very interesting, some were just so-so. Would like to have seen more stories about veterans and medical research.

This review is from: Everyday Heroes: Inspiring Stories of Ordinary People Who Made a Difference (Forged in the Fire) (Hardcover)
Every mom or dad should read this book aloud to their kids. I don't care if they're 10 or 20, these are stories that should be shared and talked about. Every child or young man or young woman should know what a true hero looks like and ACTS like. It's not Michael Phelps with his pot smoking or Kanye West with his humiliating antics on stage with Taylor Swift. These guys aren't gentlemen and it's a pity that today's youth looks up to them. Read these stories aloud and let your hearts be touched with TRUE pictures of bravery, sincere self-sacrificing love, and humble honor. Our kids are in want of real heroes in this day and age. Give it to them through these stories.
