description: We all experience moments when we are able to see our potential as human situations in which compassion leads us to work for a greater good. Bettie Youngs demonstrates this ideal in 27 inspiring "parables" that show us its often how we choose to handle a situation--not the situation itself--that infuses our lives with new meaning. These real life lessons--often passed on in subtle ways during "defining moments"--are genuine, potent and precious. Youngs' inspiring stories will remind you that the tools for positive change in your home, workplace and neighborhood--and even on a global level--exist within your heart. Through her loving example, she shows you the path to greater tolerance, acceptance, kindness, forgiveness and grace.
