This is by Debbie Macomber. I had never heard of her when I got this book. I really liked it. She has great stories and you feel like you could do something to help this world (people). She is a #1 New York Times best-selling author. The back reads,
Debbie Macomber penned this rousing work extolling the virtues of gving. Here she asks, "What if you, personally, could make the worked a better place . . . by tomorrow?"
Can one person truly make a difference? The answer, says Macomber, is yes. In this audiobook you will hear riveting true stories about individuals sharing time, materials, support, and more to brighten the lives of others. And by doing so, these people reap untold rewards for their simple acts of kindness.
Join Macomber as she illustrates how often single acts of intentional generosity have positive reverberations across space and time.
Really a good book. She is Christian and does talk about Christ but it is not like an LDS Christian book. I thought she must be a motivational speaker. It was a really powerful book. The next time I was at the library I say one of her books so I got it (reviewed elsewhere). One of her stories in One Simple Act, was that she wanted to be a writer. At an event she had the opportunity to have a New York Times editor read a fiction story she had written. She was so excited and then the editor ripped it to shreds in front of the gathering. Later she went on to sell the story and it became her first big break.
The CD was 5.5 hours so I don't think the book would be a long read. She really had one great story after another and not a lot of guilt to go with them, just some gentle nudging.
