Tales of Love and Service: Stories from the Heart

Are you among those who have wondered how to fill life with meaning, happiness and value? Tales of Love and Service: Stories From the Heart is a response to that question and offers dozens of examples of how ordinary men and women from around the world, volunteers from each culture and religion responded to this challenge through acts of love and service.

Love, the end goal of all religion, is embodied and expressed through acts of selfless service. It is a love without boundaries or borders, a love that is the hope of the world. These stories offer a record of how interreligious cooperation has led thousands of volunteers on a journey known by some as the RYS experience. On the journey, they often meet the face of Lady Poverty and experience tears that lead to healing and reconciliation. Many emerge from these experiences having gained the heart of knowing and treating each other as extended family.

These stories show how inspirations grow and can help transform and enrich people's lives. In experiencing how service enriches our life, many of those in this book continued in their communities to become lifelong champions of service . For the Storyteller, the beauty of this is that one does not need to travel around the world to make such transformations happen for they can begin in your community, in your home, and in your daily life. The Storyteller's hope remains for you to create your own stories of love and service and pass them on to those still to come.
