Can one person make a difference in a world where so many are suffering? Can you? John C. Maxwell and Rob Hoskins show that you can have an impact, and they explain how. Since 1976, Maxwell, who is the author of more than 100 books, has devoted his life to developing leaders to help improve the world. Hoskins has shown similar dedication to the welfare of others. Together, the authors traversed the globe helping people become better leaders. They offer an inspirational road map for a voyage of hope as you move from “me to we to making a difference.”

Summary

You’re only one person, but you can improve the world.

Distressing, dangerous and despicable situations cry out for improvement worldwide. People everywhere need food, water, schools, shelter, secure places to live and honest work at reasonable pay.

Local communities need to care about their people and extend a helping hand to those who are isolated, impoverished or ailing. Around the world, people are hungry, frightened, sick, enslaved, at war, or beset by bias and hatred.

Most people who look at the overwhelming problems around the world feel defeated before they begin. They ask what one person can really accomplish. If that’s your question, the answer is that you can do a lot, if you decide to take bold action. Consider these real-life stories of individuals who changed the world for the better.

Caring individuals make a difference.
