Soul of a Citizen: Living With Conviction in a Cynical Time

http://www.amazon.com/Soul-Citizen-Living-Conviction-Cynical/dp/0312204353

Soul of a Citizen: Living With Conviction in a Cynical Time – By Paul Loeb. Paperback, 1999, 362 pages, Published by St. Martins Press – Soul of a Citizen is an antidote to the twin scourges of modern life — powerlessness and cynicism. But at the book’s core are moving stories of ordinary Americans who’ve found unexpected fulfillment in social involvement. Believing that personal stories, not politics, capture people’s attention, Loeb seamlessly weaves in inspiring examples of “unexpected heroism in ordinary people” and successful activism. Through their example and Loeb’s reflections, Soul of a Citizen awakens within us the desire and the ability to make our voices heard and our actions count.

The service-learning program at NC State is a source of pride for the university, and an important facet of NC State's mission of extension for both our students and the population of the state of North Carolina. Thank you for all of the good work of Campus Compact."
