      abstract = {"Is Humanity Good at Its Core? Is there real goodness in  the world? Is altruism alive and well? A book on Human  Service Alliance invites us to take a closer look at these  and other questions. The book, "Better Than Money Can Buy:  The NEW Volunteers," leaves little doubt and offers an  antidote to the cynicism of our times. Human Service  Alliance (HSA) volunteers have been described as "angels"  and HSA has been called "the next best thing to heaven,"  yet it is the true story of a group of ordinary people who  perform extraordinary, selfless deeds in daily service to  others. Hundreds of volunteers at this unique Winston-Salem  organization care for adults who are dying, children with  developmental disabilities, and people who suffer from  chronic pain. The organization and its efforts have been  described as being similar to the work of Mother Teresa,  with an American, nondenominational approach. Human Service  Alliance is attracting world-wide attention and its success  serves as inspiration and a model for others seeking to  start an all-volunteer service organization. People travel  from all over the world at their own expense to serve 50-60  hours a week, receiving room and board but no stipend. Why  do they do it? Can only a few special people be a part of  this? What is the motivation?  Stories and commentaries in  the book reveal magical transformations which happen among  the servers and those served. Many find that they come to  volunteer, and in that process discover a profound sense of  purpose that gives their lives new meaning. This book is  their story, and it can be yours; it is for anyone open to  having their heart touched by inspiration, love, and  goodwill."--Amazon.com.},
