some of the world’s most prominent Christians.

Barry Black, United States Senate chaplain; Rebekah Wang Cheng,

medical director of Kettering Medical Center; and Israel Chambi, neuro-

logical surgeon, are just a few of the accomplished guests interviewed by

Rebekah Wang Cheng, MD Seventh-day Adventist world-church vice president, Ella Simmons, PhD.

Medical director, Kettering Medical Center Simmons takes her guests backward in time, examining their life expe-

riences to reveal the challenges they faced, the advantages they were

blessed with, and the lessons their parents taught them. She matches

their stories with the character traits they exemplify—traits any parent

would want their children to develop.

For example, Simmons’ interview with Dr. Albert Reece, Dean of the

University of Maryland School of Medicine, reveals that he signs all his

e-mail messages: “In relentless pursuit of excellence.” His episode brings

into special focus the importance of working toward excellence.

As she interviews Andrew McChesney, Moscow Times editor-in-chief,

it becomes clear that a key factor in his success and a value central to his

thinking is diligence. Through the stories of other guests, themes of grati-

tude, integrity, patience, and courage come center stage, and parents will
