DESCRIPTION
From an outside perspective that contrasts the personal, firsthand views of the first text, Reasons for Hope, the authors impart critical, dynamic ideas for improving the lives of those in rural communities. They contend that real progress depends less on money alone, and more upon passionate ideas, acting on those ideas through leadership, and implementing appropriate methods for change.
