Standing on the Shoulders: Incredible Heroes and How They Inspire Us

Product Information

You don't have to have read Remarkable People to enjoy this book but if you have you will find updates on a good number of the folks mentioned. Some (not all) of the stories are tragic and just so saddening but overall these are stories of optimism and hope and are uplifting and inspiring and show amazing strength of character.

Dan Walker is back, determined to keep shining a light on the kindness, compassion and selflessness which continue to characterise so many people and their actions right across the country.The later chapters on forgiveness are an excellent opportunity for Dan to open up about his own faith and share how the root of Christianity is the need for forgiveness for sins. As one of the UK’s leading journalists, Dan has made it his life work to focus on people who often act as the catalysts for change: the unheralded champions who frequently go without getting the recognition they deserve.

All are truly inspirational in either overcoming obstacles to make a success of their life or finding a way to deal with their grief which benefits others.p>Read about how we’ll protect and use your data in our Privacy Notice.
