This is such an easy book to read. Most of the ideas are easy to implement into your life. I liked how all this information is in one place and the book is easy to store and look through when you need inspiration. I gave this book 5/5 stars. I thought the book did an excellent job of reminding its readers that helping others can be very simple to the complex but that we all should be trying! Helping others will not feel so overwhelming after reading this. You will come away with some great ideas and probably want to get started right away!

I would like to thank the publisher for the copy of this book I enjoyed reading. I gave an honest review based on my opinion of what I read.

Lots of ways to help and biblical passages to show why we should help.

Great ideas for my Key Club to try! Awesome that we've already done a few of them too. Lifelong plans in here that will help you make an impact for years to come. The personal stories are amazingly pure and many make you want to cry (or actually cry…).

A book that should be owned by every pastor and anyone who wants to follow our Lord's examples of serving others. Of course, it was brillantly editted by my daughter, but I am not biased at all...

A book given to me by my dad. It came with a hand written letter from him. A cherished gift.
