0.0

What better way to improve your world than to show a sense of compassion and empathy for those in need? A Cup of Comfort® for a Better World celebrates those who give the special gift of their time. Inside, you’ll find fifty original, true stories that feature examples of people whose good deeds make life a little bit easier—for children on the other side of the globe, next-door neighbors in a bind, a friend staying brave in the face of illness.’ Written by men and women, young and old, this collection is not only a touching tribute to those who see our world as a work in progress—but also an inspiration for anyone who wants to make a difference.
