The "successes" featured in this book come from a variety of backgrounds and represent a spectrum of social and spiritual concerns. They are practical idealists who use modern tools and technology to share the age-old love of God with the disadvantaged—from at-risk kids to dysfunctional families to impoverished minorities to the homeless. They include social entrepreneurs such as:
· Ken Blanchard, best-selling author (over 13 million books in print) and international business consultant
· Elayne Bennett, founder of Best Friends and wife of former Secretary of Education William J. Bennett
· Bob Buford, best-selling author (over 200,000 books in print) and foremost authority on social entrepreneurs
· Juan Benitez, former Cuban refugee and president of Micron Technology, who now helps the poor around the world
Throughout this book, Oster and Hamel highlight practical principles that will help you use your resources, abilities, and influence to create positive social change and improve the world your grandchildren will inherit.
