To know or read the work of Chris is a masterclass in doing good。This book is a practical guide to shaping your thinking and action toward a life of impact， beginning with compassion and courage， and furthering it with creativity and change。 His personal stories of his family， friends， and neighbors， and an inside look at his founding of an organization called Mercy Project that has rescued nearly 200 kids out of slavery in Ghana are truly inspiring。 But I think where this book shines is Chris' To know or read the work of Chris is a masterclass in doing good。This book is a practical guide to shaping your thinking and action toward a life of impact， beginning with compassion and courage， and furthering it with creativity and change。 His personal stories of his family， friends， and neighbors， and an inside look at his founding of an organization called Mercy Project that has rescued nearly 200 kids out of slavery in Ghana are truly inspiring。 But I think where this book shines is Chris' earnest belief that regular people can give a little time and effort， and it really can change the world， especially when we do it together。 I believe it and this book hands us proven， tangible tools to remake the world into a better place。 If it sounds radical and visionary， that's because it is。 Because that's what it takes to disrupt for good， and move and shake the status quo， and dismantle systems of oppression that don't allow for the human flourishing this world is so desperate for。This book is for you if you know you want to put your gifts and energy to good use and aren't quite sure how to do it in a way that's helpful。 This book is also for you if you're wild about making an impact， you think or know you are， and you want someone a little farther down the road to remind you of the courage， compassion， creativity， and resilience you already have （thank you！） With Chris as guide， I am reimagining my own impact， and I know it's for good。 。。。more

What are your biggest hopes and boldest dreams？ This is what the introduction of this book got me to thinking as I began to really dig in to see what the author， Chris Field was trying to tell me。 He says the book is an "invitation to stop believing the lie that you need more time and/or money before you can use your passion and talent to make an impact that outlasts your life。" This book is encouraging me to be available and for me to not have a lack of confidence that hinders the good that I c What are your biggest hopes and boldest dreams？ This is what the introduction of this book got me to thinking as I began to really dig in to see what the author， Chris Field was trying to tell me。 He says the book is an "invitation to stop believing the lie that you need more time and/or money before you can use your passion and talent to make an impact that outlasts your life。" This book is encouraging me to be available and for me to not have a lack of confidence that hinders the good that I could do。Chris unpacks the topics of compassion and courage。 If you need the challenge to take action on your passions instead of continually putting them off this book is for YOU！ 。。。more
