What is a hero? To some, a hero is a person in a cape, someone who swoops down from burning buildings to save people in distress. To others, a hero comes in the form of teachers, parents, police officers, and friends. Celebrate the Hero is an initiative that began in order to celebrate the everyday heroes that are in all of our lives. This book is a collection of the submissions that people have contributed to Celebrate the Hero since its inception. I invite you to read stories of people standing up to bullying, stories of everyday heroism, and stories saluting everyday heroes. There are wonderful poems, and quotes. Some entries will make you laugh, others perhaps cry. But by the end, my hope is that you will feel good and that there some amazing people in this world who really care and are making a difference.

Excerpt: ... at the unhappiness which bowed his father down. His parents had looked forward with such ecstatic pleasure to his arrival, and what sorrow had he not brought them! "I wish I'd never come back," he muttered. He thought of the flowing, undulating plains of the Orange Country, and the blue sky, with its sense of infinite freedom. In that trim Kentish landscape he felt hemmed in; when the clouds were low it seemed scarcely possible to breathe; and he suffered from the constraint of his father and mother, who treated him formally, as though he had become a stranger. There was always between them and him that painful topic which for the time was carefully shunned. They did not mention Mary's name, and the care they took to avoid it was more painful than would have been an open reference. They sat silent and sad, trying to appear natural, and dismally failing; their embarrassed manner was such as they might have adopted had he committed some crime, the mention of which for his sake must never be made, but whose recollection perpetually haunted them. In every action was the belief that James must be suffering from remorse, and that it was their duty not to make his burden heavier. James knew that his father was convinced that he had acted dishonourably, and he-what did he himself think? James asked himself a hundred times a day whether he had acted well or ill; and though he forced himself to answer that he had done the only possible thing, deep down in his heart was a terrible, a perfectly maddening uncertainty. He tried to crush it, and would not listen, for his intelligence told him clearly it was absurd; but it was stronger than intelligence, an incorporeal shape through which passed harmlessly the sword-cuts of his reason. It was a little devil curled up in his heart, muttering to all his arguments, "Are you sure?" Sometimes he was nearly distracted, and then the demon laughed, so that the mocking shrillness rang in his ears: "Are you sure, my...

You are a secret agent working for the British in Berlin. You are due to go home on leave, but you are being followed-by your own people, or by the enemy. A man meets you in the theater and briefs you on a plot to revive the power of Nazi Germany. You do not believe him, but you remember that one of the suspects mentioned was a senior SS officer you met with in the days when you were working as a spy in Nazi Germany. The next day you make contact with a beautiful girl who may know something. Someone tries to kill both of you. Your name is Quiller. You are the hero of an extraordinary novel which shows how a spy works, how messages are coded and decoded, how contacts are made, how a man reacts under the influence of truth drugs-and which traces the story of a vastly complex, entertaining, convincing, and sinister plot.

Forty years ago, a group of superhumans emerged in San Francisco, guided by a man whose unique new drugs gave them incredible powers. For five generations, they've stood for the rights of freedom and safety, and invited other like-minded individuals of sound mind and unflinching dedication to stand with them. To these young men and women, they ask, "How much do you want to be a superhuman?" One young man, obsessed with the need for street justice, wants it badly... perhaps even enough to bring on the last days of an American legend. See, the team is not the only thing that's advanced over the years, and there are no easy victories once their luck finally runs out. A revolution in masked heroes by Warren Ellis, the award-winning creator of TRANSMETROPOLITAN and PLANETARY.

You already know it's not easy being a single man in this culture today. But it is easy to be overwhelmed, to feel helpless and hopeless about living by God's high standards for singles. It's easy to cave in to the pressures of this sex-soaked world and accept defeat-blaming the media, the culture, even girlfriends who don't know how tough it can be. But many men have read books like "Every Young Man's Battle" and "Tactics" and have committed themselves to stand strong and pure in the power of God, and to go on the offensive against the onslaught of negative stereotypes. Some have suffered. Some have fallen. But many have experienced victory-and you can be among them. What makes those committed men so desirable to women? "Be Her Hero" is their motto. From best-selling author Fred Stoeker, along with his son Jasen, come the straightforward insight and real-life examples you're looking for to help you take personal purity to its logical conclusion. Here's straight truth with irrefutable evidence of what makes an ultimate hero to women who long for men of faith-men who stand by their convictions and make their world a safer and better place. Are you ready to accept the challenge?
