Guide's Greatest Hero Stories

Heroic feats might actually be easier than you’ve ever imagined. Or maybe not! Flip through these pages and you’ll meet heroes who buy goldfish, stop a train from derailing, call a radio talk show, burst into tears, babysit, brave a blazing fire, squeeze through a tiny opening, return vast sums of money to the rightful owner, play the violin, dive into a lake to save a drowning girl, and skip a basketball game. You know, the typical things heroes do.

Fearless or fearful, rich or poor, scrawny or brawny, popular or picked on, everyday heroes just make a simple choice. That’s the secret—they choose to put others first. Sound like anything you’ve heard before? Perhaps something like "In everything, therefore, treat people the same way you want them to treat you" (Matthew 7:12, NASB).

Yeah, that’s it. Spoken by a true hero.
