"A wonderful collection of narratives which in their sum offer all of us an opportunity for moral inspiration. Philip Hallie was a person ofgreat wisdom, and these stories tell us what he tried to uphold in his life -- the significance of a goodness that is lived out day by day."-- Robert Coles "A powerful, moving text, tough-minded, never sentimental, reminding us of the distinctive voice that was Philip Hallie's and why we return to his work again and again."-- Jean Bethke Elshtain, author of "Democracy on Trial "This [is a] beautiful book, written with what might be called disciplined moral passion...Crisp, plain-spoken, and forceful prose exemplifies this fine summary of one of those very rare lives spent immersed intellectually and personally, in issues of active moral engagement."-- "Kirkus Reviews" (starred review)"This is the work of a sensitive and imaginative philosopher who spent much of his life trying to understand how acts of moral heroism are possible.
