 "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

FOREWORD by Larry King


  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!
