This volume has two goals. One is to explore the life and the thought of Fethullah G???len and the important educational and peace-inducing activities in which he and those inspired by him have been engaged for several decades.

A brief discussion of his life and thought has been supplemented by the voices of more than 70 interviews conducted over several years, with individuals intimate and more distant but all inspired to be part of the process of serving humanity.
