Book Overview
"I have faith in a better future, because I have faith that most human beings want to do the right thing." - Lois Hole In early 2005, Alberta lost one of its greatest treasures--a woman who not only voiced her thoughts, but also acted upon them. Lois Hole was a compassionate being who remained, even as Lieutenant Governor of Alberta, modest and approachable to those inspired by her. This collection of speeches, edited by Mark Lisac, will appeal to everyday Albertans whose lives Lois Hole touched, and particularly to those interested in how this remarkable woman reacted to and affected Alberta's history and political life. Foreword by Hon. Jim Edwards PC.

Beautiful Words
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Lois Hole's vision on the importance of education and reading comes through so clearly in this book. Her warm words resonate and her inclusion of "all" makes this a most inspiring book. This book has given us a gift by publishing her speeches, so her spirit remains with us. I particularly like the speech that brings the wonderful story of Mrs. Durocher, just beautiful. Lois was ahead of her time too.
Inspiring and moving

Caring is something the world needs more of. "Lois Hole Speaks: Words That Matter" is a collection of speeches about a woman who does care - about life, education, and her country. A university chancellor, gardener, and lieutenant governor, she made a career out of caring, and despite passing away in 2005, her speeches and writings have been collected. Inspiring and moving, "Lois Hole Speaks" is a must for those who want to bring caring into their government.
