This is excellent reading material for anyone that needs to reflect on their own personal lives. I have used the same values that the book refers to in my own classroom, and my students have embrased it wholeheartedly. We will continue to used this book as a resource to further analyze what constitutes the making of a community and self development. Again, Great Little Book. Robert Cortez

A wonderful book. The author not only lists the values that are dear to his heart, he shares personal experiences that helped to embed those values even deeper into his life.

Thanks for a good book that will encourage the rest of us to be the best we can be also.
