OUR BETTER ANGELS Seven Simple Virtues That Will Change Your Life and the World

Narrator Robert Petkoff conveys Habitat for Humanity's mission of building homes and relationships in a down-to-earth yet uplifting tone. Petkoff's smooth voice adds to the heartwarming stories about the lives changed by the organization. The importance of its seven shared virtues--kindness, community, empowerment, joy, respect, generosity, and service--is clearly articulated through Petkoff's deliberate pacing. There is compassion in his voice as he narrates, successfully capturing the immense joy and fulfillment felt by the recipients of the homes and by the volunteers who work on them. President Jimmy Carter delivers his own foreword with gentleness and sincerity that confirm the author's message about the importance of putting these virtues into action. Petkoff's performance, like these stories, is heartfelt and uplifting. M.F. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine [Published: OCTOBER 2019]
