HEARTWARMING STORIES AND INSPIRING
IDEAS TO HELP YOU HELP OTHERS!
|
Overview
Do you ever wish you could do more to make a real difference in people's lives? "The next step beyond the good feeling we get from reading a heartwarming story of kindness and giving," says author Steve Zikman, "is to act on those feelings."
In Doing Good for Goodness' Sake, Zikman has collected real-life stories--some poignant, some truly courageous--about saving lives, mentoring troubled teens, learning from the unconditional love of a child, caring for a terminally ill patient, helping a coworker at the office, and more. Each tale expresses the joy of helping someone else unconditionally, without receiving anything in return.
Importantly, the book also puts the world of good within everyone's reach; after each piece, Zikman includes practical ways in which readers can prepare themselves to take action in their own communities and across the world.
Through the tips, along with a resource section of organizations mentioned in the book, you'll learn:
 |
What to do in case of a car, medical, or fire emergency |
|
How to prevent drunk driving |
|
How to reach out to others during the holiday season |
|
How to become an organ or bone marrow donor |
|
What you and your family can contribute through volunteering |
|
How to teach your children about helping the homeless and others in need |
|
How to be a mentor |
This easily accessible and beautifully designed collection is perfect for sharing with family and friends, over the holidays and all through the year.
The book also features a Foreword by UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Harry Belafonte and an Afterword by the Points of Light Foundation, the largest volunteer network in the United States.
