I reach but cannot grasp words to plumb the depth of my gratification and overwhelming joy when previewers of Giving Back share their reactions to its stories and photography. A long hope has been that the book would move readers and perchance enlighten and deepen their thinking and giving, for good. This is commentary received last night . . .
“This is the most powerful representation of philanthropy that I have seen in more than a decade in this field. The stories, the quotes, the voices and the photographs are uniformly vivid and extraordinary….A reminder that, in its roots, philanthropy should be felt, not thought.”
— Robert K. Ross, M.D., president and CEO, The California Endowment
Speechless…again.

As we approach one year since the release of “Giving Back” in October 2011, I’m reminded of the wonderful people who provided words of praise for the book and cleared a path for reaching readers. So, for Dr. Ross and the others, this re-blogged post is a second helping of thanks!
