Praise
for The Cathedral Within
"Shore's
vision, paired with his realism about the consumer economy, makes his
new book essential reading for business leaders and provides a blueprint
for charitable action in the next century." - Publishers Weekly,
May 3, 1999
"A loving, courageous call to arms. Shore's book is hardly a
standard nonprofit policy wonk's approach to hunger and poverty. It's
full of surprises, not the least of which is that he believes that the
days of the nonprofit charity organization are essentially over....Postively
invigorating. Essential for community activists and business leaders
alike." - Kirkus Review, May 1, 1999
"The Cathedral Within is a reminder that what really counts in our
lives and in our communities are the enduring values of giving back and
helping others. Bill Shore is a true American visionary, whose written
prescription of how we can all give something back is both inspiring and
enlightening. This book can change both human lives and organizational
lives for the better." - General Colin L. Powell, (Retired)
"I've never been much of a joiner, but several years ago I joined
an organization called Share Our Strength, in part because the work
being done to combat hunger was important but also because I trusted the
intelligence, the integrity, and the commitment of its founder, Bill
Shore. I still do, more than ever, and his new book, The Cathedral
Within, is a clarion call in this time of compassion fatigue, a
compelling and convincing plea for us to reconsider the way we approach
problems of hunger and poverty." - Richard Russo, author of
Straight Man
"Bill Shore is a master at inspiring, mobilizing, and leading
people and companies to discover and act on their values in innovative
new ways. His wisdom and insights into the transforming power of social
purpose in our businesses and our lives provide essential reading for
leaders everywhere." - Rosabeth Moss Kantor, Harvard Business
School, author of World Class and Rosabeth Moss Kantor on the Frontiers
of Management
"Bill Shore has done the impossible - written a social policy book
that is a page-turner. Peppered with stories, whose wit and wisdom
delight us as they inform and inspire us, The Cathedral Within
celebrates the human spirit. With it s detailed blueprint for creating
community wealth, this book is mandatory reading for all who struggle
against the odds to fashion a better future for all of America's
children." - Lisbeth Shorr, author of Common Purpose
