Spirit of Service: Your Daily Stimulus for Making a Difference

Edited by Nancy Hancock, Spirit of Service: Your Daily Stimulus for Making a Difference offers a treasure trove of ways to be of service to others. Martin Luther King Jr. once said: "Everyone can be great because everyone can serve."

But God calls us to put our faith in action and help our neighbors. Arranged in a daily format, this book gives suggestions, background and contacts for serving with our money, energy, influence, compassion, support and other approaches.

More than 500 organizations are listed, including environmental, human rights, elder care, youth services, hunger relief, animal conservation, troop support, green living, the arts, literacy, historic preservation, civic participation and more (HarperOne).
