Be the Change: Your Guide to Freeing Slaves and Changing the World
A book by Zach Hunter
Review by Jeff Jacobson Zach Hunter looks like a typical 15 year-old kid on the cover of his book.
Wait a minute, on the cover of his book? He's 15! Whoa. Staying true to our March 2007 theme, I think it's safe to say that this young man has laid down his net and is moving headlong into some pretty powerful "follower-ship." Just in case you were wondering, Zach wants to end slavery and human trafficking in his lifetime. He's making a huge difference by creating awareness of a very dire crisis in our world, speaking before thousands of people and simply stepping up to the plate to do his part. Zach's book Be the Change: Your Guide to Freeing Slaves and Changing the World is a very engaging and educational read, though it always feels true to the style of a normal 15-year-old. Yes, it's geared toward a younger generation, but the beauty of his writing style is that any normal kid his age (or any adult, for that matter) will see himself/herself as a potential agent of change. Because he's not lofty in his approach, what he's done comes off as doable for the rest of us too.
If you have kids, you'll want to buy this book--if only so that Zach can be an inspiration to them. And maybe in the process, we'll have more kids like him springing up to embrace a hurt world. I think everyone would agree that this would be a good thing. Even if you don't have kids, buy this book and you might be surprised to find his passion is contagious enough for you to change the world, too.
