The Quiet Revolution
Jay F HeinPaperback 2014-06-03
Publisher Description
:Recent history reveals that American citizens have been the backbone of ambitious solutions to the world?s most pressing problems. Through community-based efforts, the twenty-first century has seen an unprecedented rise in generosity and a steep decline in global poverty. In The Quiet Revolution, readers are invited inside the White House to see how presidents have aided in this success by rallying Americans to serve their nation by volunteering in their individual communities and around the world.
In the early years of the twenty-first century, President George W. Bush?s Faith-Based and Community Initiative was a major catalyst for dramatic social improvements. The faith-based initiative clearly shows how the efforts of community volunteers helped to turn President Bush?s vision into reality.
The Quiet Revolution is about championing the unsung work of ordinary volunteers spurred by faith and simple goodwill to roll up their sleeves in order to care for their neighbors in need.
