Loved the Message

Sperry did a great job in researching and retelling four lesser known stories. The stories flowed well and stayed close to the author's mission: an average person can choose to make a huge difference in the world. I found the back stories to each person in the book fascinating. Inspiring and fun to read.

Inspiring stories!

I had some level of familiarity with two of the stories, but the other two were new to me and I enjoyed learning about them. The historical stories are independent of each other, but share common themes. The narration was enjoyable to listen to, and it made a few car rides go by more quickly for me!
