Because There Was Margoth: One Good Deed Serves Another
“When something so small as a bit of cash and words of encouragement empower a single woman to embrace her dreams and share her gifts, a miracle occurs. The business prowess emerges, and the fortune becomes that of the surrounding community.” – Margoth Margoth was a woman who refused to be beaten by the natural circumstances of her daily life. In developing countries, women are often battered, marginalized, and left on their own through ignorance as well as a corrupt system. Children were the worst victims. Often left with no opportunities or ways to escape the extreme poverty of their surroundings, they were forced into gangs and abusive relationships. Until Margoth decided she could make a difference. “Because There Was Margoth” is an inspiring and dramatic story of how one woman, empowered with a micro-finance loan, started a business, discovered her skills, and used her calling and her faith to make a profound difference in her family and communities lives.

Can I make a difference? I want to help, but don't know how! Who is my neighbor? Why go so far away to help others? What is micro-finance? Can one small deed really change the world? If you have ever wondered these things, or if you alone could make the world better, pick this book up and give it a read. If you are further along in your journey towards service, pick up a few for your small group or book club. Not only will it stimulate great conversation, the study guide at the end will help you and your group turn thoughts into action. A great first book by Mr. Hartman, I can't wait to see what other good Carelink and Jeff bring to the world.
