Hey Somebody!
How Ordinary People Can Do Extraordinary Things
You don't have to have all the answers.
You don't need a special title.
You don't have to travel across the world to make a difference.
Hey Somebody! is a practical, faith-filled invitation to recognize the opportunities God places in front of you every day and discover that ordinary acts of compassion can have an extraordinary impact.
Whether you're serving in your neighborhood, your workplace, your church, or your community, this book will encourage you to stop waiting and start saying "yes."
