Making a Difference: True Stories Celebrating Our Better Selves
No Customer Reviews
In Making a Difference, Tom Reynolds has captured a view of human behavior that is sorely needed at this time in our history. From plantation servitude to public school classrooms, to athletic playing fields and corporate board rooms; from altruistic physicians to fearless entrepreneurs, come true stories of people who have made a positive difference in the world. Some are famous; most are simply everyday folks living by what is arguably the most universally accepted moral principle of human interaction of all time-the Golden Rule. One story (#41) illustrates:On November 14. 2016, an anti-Trump protest march was held in Austin, Texas. Joseph Weidknecht, an unemployed sheet-metal worker, protested the protest. He stood six-feet, three, and weighed three-hundred and fifty pounds; but, when some angry, macho protesters grabbed his Make America Great Again hat and threatened to set his shirt on fire, Weidknecht was terrified. At that point, Amina Amdeed, a small nineteen-year-old student, wearing her hajib, stood between him and the mob. Though not agreeing with him, she was willing to risk harm to protect him. Weidknecht said, "She stood there like a mountain . . . ."
