Chicken Soup for the Soul Celebrating People Who Make a Difference: The Headlines Youll Never Read

Story Title: "Learning to Share"

Story Except:

My grandparents, L and Moma, were born in separate small southern towns in the early part of the twentieth century. Because they were raised in such small communities, they had a closeness to their neighbors one could never experience in a city. And because they were raised with such a strong faith, they were always mindful of the blessings they had, and were willing to help those in need in the community.

Book Description:

Changing the World One Person at a Time Chicken Soup for the Soul Celebrating People Who Make a Difference reveals a side of humanity we rarely see heralded on the evening news. This inspiring collection of stories chronicles the small kindnesses that make a huge difference, the ordinary experiences that have profound impact, and the defining moments that change the lives of everyday people. Your heart will be touched when the despair of a lost two-year-old's parents turns to joy as an exhausted rescue team finds their baby in critical condition, but alive. And you may be left wondering if you could act as one woman did, when driving home alone on a dark night she finds unknown courage to come to the aid of someone about to be assaulted at an isolated bus stop. If you wonder about the direction the world is headed and whether kindness and compassion still exists, Chicken Soup for the Soul Celebrating People Who Make a Difference will restore your faith in the human spirit with these true stories of generosity, character, and courage.

A Chicken Soup for the Soul Christmas

Story Title: "Unexpected Guests"

From the kitchen emerged a beautiful young woman with a slender build, auburn hair, and a warm smile. "Ah, Chris! Hello!" She embraced Chris and kissed him on the cheek. Over his shoulder, she noticed me donning a nervous smile.

Book Description:

Children experience Christmas through magic, anticipation, and learning about the baby Jesus. As we mature, we experience Christmas through the gifts we give, the love we share, and the magic we create for others. A Chicken Soup for the Soul Christmas brings back the memories of childhood through the eyes of children on Christmas day and inspires good deeds by reminding us how the smallest gesture can truly change a life.

Go back in time through genuine stories of hope and kindness and see how people find the true meaning of the season through unexpected miracles and those they meet along the way. Peek into the life of one family as they visit a relative at a nursing home on Christmas and how a cup of ice cream and a few moments of time brighten up the day for those who live there. Read about one woman's journey through surviving the loss of her husband and how the love and warmth of her family at Christmas strengthens her. Enjoy a sweet tale of how an old doll dressed in new clothes becomes the most precious gift and cherished memory a child ever receives. And, of course, it wouldn't be Christmas without a few stories celebrating the wonderment and joy children experience throughout this very special season.
