Heroes Come in All Forms and Sizes

It doesn't take a superhero to help someone.

I'm willing to bet you know someone who's going through a rough time right now. Wouldn't you help them if you knew how? Or maybe you've been rebuffed so often in your attempts to help that you figure what's the point. But really, even when they say "no thanks" and even when they bite your head off for trying, they do want a hand. And if you do know how, you can save their life (or at least make it a whole lot better).

There is a whole series of new courses, announced last week by David Miscavige, that are being offered at Scientology Churches and Missions that give you the tools to be able to help.

Check it out for yourself.

Saved! Story of heroism, patriotism Warsaw Ghetto Nazi-fighter's history documented

This caught my eye today:


It's a story of unfaltering patriotism, heroism, loyalty and military history, and it almost was lost.

"Quiet Hero: Secrets from My Father's Past" by journalist Rita Cosby tells the story of her father's work as a teen on behalf of his Nazi-threatened homeland in Poland.

It also tells the story of the bond that was built between the father and daughter when she convinced him to tell the stories linked to the souvenirs of war she found among her mother's estate.

It almost didn't happen.

Cosby, an Emmy award-winning journalist, TV host and New York Times best-selling author, had been a near-stranger to her father after he abruptly announced one day when she was a teen that he was leaving the family.

She knew he had left Poland after World War II, and his body bore the statements of many scars, but he always had refused to answer questions about them.
