Synopsis

Be Good, Do Good is a book for people who seek meaning and joy in their lives, and who desire to serve others in an honest and concrete way in today's rapidly shrinking world. In it the author discusses what it means to love God and to love our neighbor as ourselves, and he gives practical advice on how to do that. "This book will cause you to see the world differently and how you can make a difference in it" -Barry St. Clair "The long disparaged meaning of goodness in our complex society is rediscovered and becomes a genuine possibility" -Richard Ray "The book beckons to each of us to come to an understanding of our common yearning to live our lives right" -Hank Ackerman "Tom is no amateur when it comes to inspiring others to 'do good unto all men" -Franklin Graham
