In l985, Halamandaris began soliciting and receiving thousands of nominations for people who are improving society and the lives of others. Then he personally interviewed the most outstanding nominees. Each chapter of his book is the story of one of these people, describing what they do and why, the greatest lessons they have learned, and the advice they have for others. When readers finish this book, they will believe anything is possible. They will have no doubt that they personally have the ability to make a difference -- to Be the Light .
