"I had always assumed that heroism was reserved for the very few, but I no longer believe that to be true. I have come to believe that heroism is clearly attainable to each of us--that all we have to do to become heroes is, with God's help, to grow into the ideal each of us harbors in our hearts." --Joe Wheeler , from Everyday Heroes In the timeless tradition of Joe Wheeler's previous anthologies, Volume 2 of his Forged in the Fire series takes you on a succession of fascinating journeys into personal courage--stories that will inspire you, too, to think, act, and live with moral courage in the face of everyday challenges and extraordinary crises. These 21 stories--many certifiably true, others inspired by real-life experiences--spotlight ordinary men, women, and children who met a moment or season of challenge with extraordinary honor and courage. You and your loved ones will be inspired and emboldened to also "do the right thing"--no matter the cost--as you encounter crossroads in your own lives.
