Great movements have leaders and leaders have moments when commitments are made, when new attitudes are formed, when new directions are chosen, and when distant visions are transformed into realities. This inspirational book examines some of these important times--occasions when notable people, during moments of crisis and insight, found the grace and strength to change our world for the better, forever.
