Max Malikow offers excellent examples of dedication, resilience, and rededication after the experience of loss. This book would be a good text for a course on heroes and heroism as well as a useful resource for a variety of other courses, including ethics, religion, clinical psychology, and pastoral counseling. We never tire of heroic stories, either fictional or real-life. They get our attention and make us wish to be more heroic in our own lives.
