"This tale of the extraordinary impact of ordinary lives is sure to touch your heart."

I LOVE books that make you really think about life and where you are at in it.

This book does just that in such an AMAZINGLY WONDERFUL way!

James Smith feels ordinary...

Ordinary name~
Ordinary life~
Ordinary person~

He looks up one day just before his 40th birthday and reads the quote above his mirror:

"YOU MAKE A DIFFERENCE" 

Does he?
He doesn't think so...

But as the story progresses you will see how James touches multiple people each day that he is fully unaware of...for you see he is just going about his ordinary day~

~ Told in such a way that you will start to wonder if 

YOU touch anyone ~

You will ponder ways you can be there for even more people and in a more conscientious way.

I LOVE the 'discussion questions' at the end of the book!

THIS IS A BOOK TO BE READ AND THEN TALKED ABOUT!
A TERRIFIC READ!
COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN!

About the Author

Being raised in a small farming community, Dustin Bradshaw thrives on adventure and challenge. He lives by the theme, “If you want to accomplish something, do it!” It was with this attitude that he penned his first book in third grade and, as a senior in high school, entered and won a literary scholarship that he was told no male has ever won. This same adventurous nature has helped Bradshaw achieve many of his life’s goals, including forming that country boy into a accomplished leader. He is now a Foreign Service Officer for the United States Department of State. He and his wife, Lady Hiva, are now posted in Manila, Philippines and will soon be posted to Istanbul, Turkey.
