in Reviewing
“No good act performed in the world ever dies. Science tells us that no atom
of matter can ever be destroyed, that no force once started ever ends; it merely passes through a multiplicity of ever-changing phases. Every good
deed done to others is a great force that starts an unending pulsation through time and eternity. We may not know it, we may never hear a word of gratitude or recognition, but it will all come back to us in some form as naturally, as perfectly, as inevitably, as echo answers to sound. ”
~ William George Jordan (1864-1928)
One day I was reading a top reviewers profile and I saw that they were being funny by saying “will review for food.” This made me think about how it might be possible to do exactly that!
I had sponsored a child through World Vision and wondered how I could get other people involved in this charity. It didn’t take long to figure it out. I decided to encourage authors to make a donation after I reviewed their book.
To keep myself honest I decided not to review any books I didn’t like. In fact, I would send them back or donate them to my local library.
This has worked out very well and one author even sponsored five children after I spent just a few hours reading and reviewing his book. Many authors have made one-time donations as well.
There are always ways we can change the world but sometimes we have to get a little creative. I lived in Africa for twelve years and saw the devastation of poverty. I’m so happy that now I can make a difference in the lives of children around the world.
