Synopsis

Some people live that touch only a few, while others have an impact that reverberates throughout the world for decades and even centuries. -


Those Who Made a Difference features inspiring stories about extraordinary people. While there are plenty of villains who've had an impact, the author focuses on those who left the world a better place.


The individuals highlighted include:


Dwight L. Moody, who started an evangelism school that became so popular that even President Abraham Lincoln attended. His growing ministry became a church: Moody Church, which the author attended while on a business trip.


Alexei A. Navalny, who has waged a courageous campaign to replace Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has done all he can to disgrace and hurt him.


Ben Carson, who became the youngest chief of pediatric neurosurgery in the United States at age 33. He prayed before every operation and received more than sixty honorary doctorate degrees.


The book features scores of others, too, such as William Farel, Mikhael Gorbachev, Norman Rockwell, Jan Hus, John Calvin, Gary Rose, Jimmy Doolittle, Mary K. Beard, and many others, showing how ordinary people with a purpose can-and will-make a difference.
