Description

It’s time to turbocharge ourselves and our communities.

This book shares ways we power up ourselves and influence our friends and neighbors for the greater good. It provides rich examples of highly effective people who mobilize others to make a positive difference. It is a must-read for those of us who want to be builders, influencers and champions of hope. It starts off strong and ends strong!

Building Communities of Hope will help you move forward, positive, and empowered. Community building is real, practical, and inspirational. This book is full of winning strategies to power up your life. Here’s some of what you’ll find:

  • A boy who mobilized his city to care for its homeless, which continued for decades.
  • A model of recovery on a motorcycle, rebuilding lives and creating jobs.
  • The little old lady in purple tennis shoes who changed national policy for older adults.
  • Holding onto hope when the going gets rough, and becoming stronger.
  • Multiplying wealth in its many forms, using it to build more.
  • Managing sweeping change, and making it work for yourself and others.
  • Living in the slipstream - it’s about the power of positive energy.
  • Love that sets us free. Yes, it does. Free and grateful.

When we and our communities face serious challenges, life can be hard. Yet there is hope when your heart breaks. We prevail because hope is there for us, we have partners, and we can find practical ways to overcome challenges. Everyday heroes are community builders who use these tools to influence, mobilize and bring positive change. We can be fueled by hope, empowering ourselves and our communities. One reviewer said “the book will leave you with some spiritual healing and a jolt of faith in humanity.”

Building Communities of Hope is full of examples about how people overcome challenges like despair, economic setbacks, natural disasters, prejudice and racism, health issues, and limited resources. Another reviewer said “ what ties the stories together is that the people come from a place of gratitude and hope. They have the ability to share leadership and mobilize others. It’s the collective impact of this kind of leadership that moves me the most.”

We can build each other up to do amazing things together. The book has stories about diverse communities with lots of "mojo.” From Philadelphia to New Orleans, New Mexico, Wyoming, West Virginia, Puerto Rico, the Netherlands and Ukraine, people are making a positive difference, empowering one another. It validates the belief that what you do matters.

Another reviewer said “this book is both realistic and inspirational, and can uplift us to move forward.” Hope propels us forward, like an arrow. We can involve and mobilize one another to make a positive difference.

You'll probably see something of yourself in these stories about people who make a difference. Together we can build vibrant communities and unleash the power of hope. Yes we can.
