"Giving from Your Heart" is full of practical information on getting started, evaluating your skills and interests and finding a volunteer position that's a good fit for you.

But, as the title suggests, this is more than merely a how-to book. It contains inspiring personal stories from people like rock star Steve Perry, who has volunteered with the Make-A-Wish Foundation, and Charlie Garfield, founder of the Shanti Project, which serves people with life-threatening illnesses.

Perry, former lead singer of the rock band Journey, talks about visiting terminally ill children whose dying request was to meet him.

"It changes your whole life," he said of the experience. "I'm never the same person I was when I got there."

But it is now in a book with President Bush, among others, giving the thumbs up!

[leducred]

yes it is in a book yes you are right. Jimmy Carter also in the book too. Im just taking it as he doesnt want mass coverage that he contributed to the book, if you find out great if not oh well. He doesnt volunteer to get publicity or to be 'seen', he does it out of his heart.

this is my stance on it.

i finished the book at 230am this morning when i could not sleep - been reading it here and there. its not a big book or hard to read but hard to find time to read when you got school kids etc.
