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.

Much of my work in service-learning and community engagement has come as a result of the many excellent resources and materials generated by Campus Compact. When I first became the Founding Director of CSUSB's CUP [Community-University Partnership Institute], I relied almost exclusively on the resources of Campus Compact in designing, planning, and implementing our actions."
