About this title

Synopsis

What does it take to change the world? Just a simple idea that starts out as a spark, becomes a flame, and grows into a grassfire that multiplies. This is Steve Elliott's testimony, and he can show you how your sparks of creativity can become world-changing ideas and actions.

Using his personal journey as a backdrop, you learn the lessons Steve has learned that led to the discovery and implementation of Grassfire.org-one of the nation's largest and fastest growing citizen action organizations. More importantly, The Grassfire Effect shows you how to apply the grassfire effect to your own life and release those "sparks" of ideas that can change your world.
