Introduces and celebrates ordinary individuals

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.

A valuable reminder of the everyday heros in my own life.

In reading this book I recall the heros in my life and the difference that we as average people can make in the lives of those around us. We can change the world when we reach out to another person. This book is a gentle reminder of these things. Thank you to the author for offering us such a touching collection of stories.

WE NEED MORE BOOKS LIKE THIS!!!

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.
