Heroic feats might actually be easier than you've ever imagined. Or maybe not! Flip through these pages and you'll meet heroes who buy goldfish, stop a train from derailing, call a radio talk show, burst into tears, babysit, brave a blazing fire, squeeze through a tiny opening, return vast sums of money to the rightful owner, play the violin, dive into a lake to save a drowning girl, and skip a basketball game. You know, the typical things heroes do.

Fearless or fearful, rich or poor, scrawny or brawny, popular or picked on, everyday heroes just make a simple choice. That's the secret--they choose to put others first. Sound like anything you've heard before? Perhaps something like "In everything, therefore, treat people the same way you want them to treat you" (Matthew 7:12, NASB).

Yeah, that's it. Spoken by a true hero.
