"It
was my honor in 1996 to present Millard Fuller with the Presidential
Medal of Freedom, our country's highest civilian award. Millard and
Linda Fuller changed philanthropy. Instead of asking just
for money, they asked people to swing a hammer. In so doing,
they have built countless houses strengthened communities, and
empowered people of modest means to literally build a better
future. The
House That Love Built chronicles their remarkable
quest to make a difference, one home at a time. President
Bill Clinton, 42nd President of the United States
A
boutique imprint, Bettie Youngs Books brings readers
a carefully selected line of books about remarkable life journeys. Each
of our authors offer narratives of powerful and insightful experiences that
have allowed them to create new paths in their lives and new processes
to better get to the heart of issues we all have in common: wanting
to live more fully, creatively, zestfully, and abundantly. Whether
forced by circumstances or pursuing their dreams against all odds,
these are people who expressly see life as possibility and have achieved
an extraordinary personal victory: living life on one’s
own terms. Within the pages of our books you will find our authors’ clear perspectives, often times arrived at after cataclysmic events forced their hand and changed their fate. Always true stories, our authors are strong and enduring people, and reading about them is to walk with them in the shoes they have worn on their remarkable journeys. It is a revelation to learn why and how the obstacles they faced not only changed their own lives forever but helped them discover new callings—and hence, create for themselves a life of abundant purpose.
These are life inspiring books. Stories that will grip you as you read them, and that will show you the myriad possibilities we are all presented with to reawaken our passion for life and reaffirm our faith in the indomitability of the human spirit. It is our goal to bring these beautiful books to print—and to film!
