Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Bulletin, Vol. 92: Summer 2007
Arnot shared his experiences out in the field, exciting tales of the enlightening but often dangerous stories he's presented from such war-torn locales as the Darfut region of Sudan and Iraq. The common theme of these stories was how it was often the most ordinary of people who stepped in to save the day when he needed it most. He encouraged the audience to strive to be everyday heroes like this in their own lives.
Stiehm also spoke of ordinary people doing extraordinary things. Her presentation was on the 12 women who have won the Nobel Peace Prize - women who were happily pur suing careers or religious vocations or enjoying life as wives and mothers when the strife in the world around them forced them out of their comfort zones and into history.
