Publisher Synopsis
"Perceptive readers value clear writing, unpretentious thinking, wise reflection, and penetrating insight. Carole J. Lambert and her contributors use all of those qualities to focus on what goodness means and requires in a world wracked by its absence. These essays are acts of goodness because they point toward the respect for others, the compassionate service, and the generosity of mind and spirit that remain essential if we are to keep affirming, as we should, that human life itself is good." (John K. Roth, Edward J. Sexton Professor Emeritus of Philosophy and Founding Director of The Center for the Study of the Holocaust, Genocide, and Human Rights, Claremont McKenna College) "Goodness is one of those virtues whose meaning is often assumed, so its depths are rarely plumbed as they are in the wonderfully varied and richly personal essays in this book. I commend Carole J. Lambert and her...colleagues for producing such a refreshing, provocative, and inspiring work." (Ken Perez, President, John Stott Ministries; Senior Partner, Colabra, LLC) Read more...
