Awakening: Selfless Service - Interviews with Compelling People by Connie Shaw

"Awakening" boldly investigates the steps that heroic people everywhere are taking to meet the effects of the current economic and social crisis in daily life. These dynamic role models are feeding the homeless, retrieving parents from nursing homes, growing their own food, creating community, radically forgiving, and discovering the miraculous.

"Awakening" is about that planetary beginning. www.connieshaw.com
