5.0 out of 5 stars Introduces and celebrates ordinary individuals, February 10, 2001

By	Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

In The Lives And Legacies Of Everyday Heroes, Mark Britzman introduces and celebrates ordinary individuals who posses great character and who have established important legacies for future generations to consider and emulate. These "everyday heroes" are the kind of men and women we all want as family members, friends, neighbors, teachers, colleagues, and mentors. These are common people who's uncommon examples inspire us all to be everyday heroes our selves. Very highly recommended, positive, and inspiring reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars WE NEED MORE BOOKS LIKE THIS!!!, October 2, 2000

By	"bubbajoebob" (Sioux Falls, SD USA) - See all my reviews

The Lives and Legacies of Everyday Heroes inspires me to be a better me. I have met people like Dan the pilot, or the helpful higway patrol man, and this book reminds me of how important a role everyday heroes have had in my life. While popular culture teaches us to "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff," it is precisely because people care enough to go the extra mile and care for our "small stuff" that we can find a little kindness in our day to day lives. This book helped me to see how connected we are to each other, and how important it is for me to look for the little things to help be an "everyday hero" to those I encouter.

My kids enjoyed the stories in this book, and I can see them looking for ways to be a hero to others now by doing the right thing for the right reasons. This is a book for your family, your friends, and for your partner as you curl up together and take an inspiring trip through stories which will jog fond memories of those in your life who have meant so much to you, and inspire you to create those same memories for those you care for and encounter everyday.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dr. Mark J. Britzman...........Outstanding Author!, November 2, 2000

By	Gregory E. Gomer (Maple Grove, MN USA) - See all my reviews

I've known Dr. Mark J. Britzman for over 20 years and his character and integrity have always been solid and unquestioned!

A true paragon in the acme of his writing career! A strong positive "role model" himself as he champions the achievement of everyday people doing extraordinary things! His passion for people, especially young people, is legendary! He's also got a great sense of humor and a wonderful common-sense perspective.

Strongly recommend this author to everyone! Recommend he doubles the price of his book! So much value for such a low price! I wish him continued success and look forward to owning everything he produces!
