The Call Of Service by Robert Coles
A Witness to Idealism
A reflective exploration of why individuals choose to serve others, blending interviews, field observations, and personal meditations to examine the moral, spiritual, and psychological forces that draw people to volunteer work and public service. It presents portraits of teachers, doctors, social workers, and community organizers grappling with injustice and suffering, the pull of empathy and faith, the burdens of guilt and burnout, and the reciprocal transformations that occur between giver and receiver, ultimately portraying service as a demanding but deeply human calling rooted in humility, responsibility, and hope.
