This Sight-Impaired Hero Entered a Fiery Apartment to Rescue His Neighbor

Out of work and visually impaired at age 54, Jim was starting to question his own worth. But his courage and faith guided him down a hero’s path.

Guideposts is pleased to announce its new initiative EVERYDAY GREATNESS. Everyday Greatness is a multi-media project created to celebrate the everyday heroes that have touched our lives. Beginning in June we’re welcoming people into our online community of kindness and courage that pays tribute to the heroes in our lives. 

Readers will learn about acts of greatness and share their own stories that center on the heroes that walk among us. Find encouragement through the sight-impaired man who, despite his disability, came to the rescue of a neighbor and be inspired by the little girl who, in spite of developmental challenges, willed herself to victory on the playground!

Each week we’ll feature a hero to honor, someone whose story provides inspiration to people everywhere so that they too can expect greatness in their lives by exploring the power of their own faith. Guideposts CEO John Temple says, “Guideposts inspires the world to believe anything is possible with hope, faith, and prayer.  What better way to demonstrate that than to honor the hero right next door.”

Our community is open and we invite anyone who’s experienced EVERYDAY GREATNESS to inspire us with their story. We accept story submissions through the website and through email heroes@guideposts.org.

About Guideposts: Guideposts is a non-profit organization that inspires the world to believe anything is possible with hope, faith and prayer. Through magazines, books, prayer networks and robust outreach programs, Guideposts reaches people in their time of need, with timely and timeless messages of hope, reassurance and faith.
