| Where have all the heroes gone? Hero-ines? Role models? Is our age unusuallyshort of inspiration? While we are told that ours is an es-pecially amoral, hedonistic, godless,selfish time, history reveals that suchwails of condemnation have gone upbefore. Perhaps goodness, moral vi-sion, and strength of purpose and willare a bit difficult to catch out in theopen these days, but men and womenhave always sought ways to shape theirlives and measure their behavior. Thisengrossir]g book presents fascinatingp~ ofiles of twenty men and women whose lives stand as testimonials to that enduring effort and act as effective inspiration to contemporary readers-- "Companions Along the Way." These Companions are an oddly as- sorted lot. They do not espouse any one special "way." They neither adhere to a uniform doctrine, nor are they mem- bers of any one faith. Some in essence, "lost" their faith, some found it; one of them was a pagan. Many of these names readers will already know, but you may not know them from the author s per- spective, which focuses on the moral, spiritual and personally transforming power coursing through their lives. And Paul Wilkes, an extremely gifted writer, makes each of the Companions human and accessible. |
