Glory Stories is a collection of uncommon, true stories intended to inspire and enlighten people from everyday walks of life. There is sometimes a central character whose story may have been widely reported, but the stories of key supporting characters have been marginalized. Our goal is to publish lesser-known aspects of each story, demonstrating that it is often the people who willingly sacrifice much in advancing others, who are every bit as heroic as those who achieve celebrity as the result of their efforts.
Glory Stories sprang from Cameron Dryden's research for his sermons at The Italian Home for Children in Boston, Massachusetts. In his search for true stories to inspire the children at the Home awaiting family placements, he stumbled on tale upon tale of men and women, young and old, who left the world a better place for their presence. Some of them gave all their wealth, or all their years, or all their energies to a single cause, or even a single person. But the intensity of their gift was so strong that it touched the lives of thousands to millions of people.
It is our sincere hope that through Glory Stories, those acts of sacrifice will continue to reverberate throughout history, and continue to challenge, inspire, and remind us of our immense ability to achieve greatness, even in the face of seemingly insurmountable obstacles.
