Everyday Heroes

Looking for Role Models You Can Believe In?

It?s human nature to choose heroes. Once people looked up to the likes of Moses or Madame Curie Abraham Lincoln or Susan B. Anthony. Today such heroes have been replaced in our lives by television and movie actors mega pop stars and musicians sports figures and other celebrities. The hype has displaced the substance; the illusion has been substituted for the real.

Real Heroes Are Closer Than You Think

The problem with adoring media figures is we become like those we admire most. Many of us have been following pseudo heroes instead of real ones?and our characters have been weakened as a result. Sadly we?ve been programming our children to do the same thing.

The good news is we can retrain our hearts to value once again men and women of character and the values they represent. In this inspiring collection of stories written in the classic tradition you?ll meet heroes worthy of admiration and emulation including Helen Keller; Dr. Albert Schweitzer; medical researcher Dr. Walter Reed; nature artist John James Audubon and his indomitable wife Lucy Bakewell Audubon. You?ll encounter heroes who are extraordinary?and those who appear ordinary yet accomplished extraordinary things. Best of all you may just realize that anyone can be a hero?especially you.
