    About this ebook

    Lian McAndrew served in the Peace Corps in Brazil, taught school in rural Nebraska, and was a ranch cowboy before he became benignly obsessed with the certainty that if enough people did four things they could individually and collectively create a perfect human world. In a fit of fervor in Fresno, he also had the word "LOVE" tattooed on his forehead. He wears what he laughingly calls a dress. And when we meet him, for the past seven years Lian, now 37, has held "visits" to assorted Midwestern towns and cities, speaking for three weeks and gathering followers.

    Other than that, he's an everyday tall, lean, straight, funny guy and a super speaker. As the book opens, his team of nine volunteers, directed by Lian's long-time helper Ralph Ford, assemble in Allerton, Iowa in April to begin a three-week mission.

    Running through the entire book is the idea that any person, any reader can help lift this earth to a higher realm by simply doing the four things. They needn't take a vow, quit their job, forsake meat, leave their church, or alter their everyday activities. They simply need to refocus, then actively participate in earth-improving actions. If this sounds mundane, utopian, dull, or pie-in-the-sky, then you must read these pages to see why a handful of curious Iowa folk at the start swells to fill the auditorium at the end, and why Lian and Ralph are about to accept the huge donation to expand their scope from the Midwest to the world.

    Lian's forehead says it all. From LOVE can come a perfect human world. This book tells how, in a fun, realistic setting with very real people.
