Who Should Read Unlikely Good?

Every community has someone who feels that sense of quiet frustration. Maybe that person is you.

You see a problem with which everyone else has learned to coexist.

A failing school.
Neighborhood violence.
Homeless kids who have to couch surf every night just to have a roof over their heads.

You may not think of yourself as a “dreamer,” but if something inside you keeps whispering that your community could be better, this book was written with you in mind.

As I wrote in Unlikely Good:

“My heart goes out to leaders with a bold vision to accomplish Unlikely Good in their small to medium-sized cities. Far too many visionaries end up struggling, burned out, and resigned to believing they can’t make a difference.” 

That quiet burden you carry may not be that random after all.

It may be a calling.

What if that nagging disconenment could be turned into tangible action?

“This book is written for the dreamer, that is, a leader who is burdened to tackle one of those impossibly complex problems in a small to medium-sized city.” 

Perhaps that dreamer is a pastor.

Maybe a nonprofit leader.

Maybe a business owner, philanthropist, or a concerned citizen who refuses to believe decline is inevitable.

Perhaps you are not the dreamer, but you know someone who is. You love their passion and would do anything in your power to give them a boost.

If someone comes to mind, send them this book.

Our communities won’t change because people complain.

They change because some courageous soul decides to turn their discontent into action.

So the real question isn’t just “Who should read this book?”

It’s a more pointed question: Why not you? Or, Why not someone you know who needs a boost from a friend?
