Vehicles of Hope: Serving Others On The Road To Satisfaction is an inspiring and motivating book about the power of service and the bountiful blessings that giving to others often brings back to the giver. The authors, Larry and Carol Tebo, have spent many years traveling the country in their RV and building homes with Habitat for Humanity, and in this book they chronicle their adventures, discoveries and challenges along the way.
With over 40 stories of individuals who benefited from the Habitat program, this book is chock full of heartwarming and uplifting tales of those less fortunate whom were blessed by hard-working volunteer angels who took the time, money and energy to get together and build homes. The stories echo the hopes, dreams and desires not only of the new homeowners, but of the volunteers, whose own lives were changed as well in the process of reaching out to others.
There are tales of surviving natural disasters and financial struggles that serve to bring out the best in others, and stories of families that never imagined they could own a home, only to find that their dreams really could come true with the help of the amazing and courageous Habitat for Humanity volunteers. These are stories of faith, fortitude, love and the simple acts of kindness that cast huge ripples into the world.
Larry and Carol Tebo’s own tale is quite fascinating, too, having left the world of steady jobs and steady paychecks to delve into the unknown world of full-time RV’ing and, eventually, working as volunteers with disaster victims and the Habitat program. Their struggles, challenges, triumphs and hopes offer real inspiration to those of us who long to serve others in a way that will really make a difference, as well as those of us who long for the opportunity to follow our hearts.
This book is a joy to read, and will certainly motivate you to want to make a difference in someone else’s world. The great secret this book reveals is that by giving to others, you receive so much in return. Vehicles of Hope celebrates the blessings of giving, receiving, and reaching out to another, and coming to realize that this world is filled with good, decent, caring people.
