Testimonials
“Stories to Light Our Way is a wonderful resource for introducing young people to the wisdom and moral lessons found in the world’s religions and cultures. The stories are presented in ways that allow children to learn about the beliefs and values that have shaped human experience for centuries. The Wisdom Thinkers Network’s approach to story-telling is an educationally and constitutionally sound way for public schools to build good character and encourage cross-cultural understanding.”
“Ralph, I really love your stories. Your ability to capture the essence of each tradition’s universal message allows us to appreciate how much alike we really are without overwhelming us. Stories to Light Our Way, is a real gift to our children and teachers who want a simple resource to build a classroom and community culture which honors diversity and discourages bullying while nurturing good behavior that can extend to and include the family.”
“I consider Stories to Light Our Way a real gem. Your collection and retelling of key stories from some of our world’s great religious and cultural traditions fills such a need as our world grows smaller, though not necessarily kinder. The fact that your work aims explicitly at fostering moral and spiritual growth – at furthering that kindness – makes it all the more meaningful. You have done us all a service, and I want to express my gratitude on behalf of CSEE and of a number of schools, and young people in them, that I know will benefit from your efforts.”
