			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been working long hours recently trying to complete the second edition of the Handle With Care ebook. It has been reorganized, includes fresh content, and is print ready.</p>
<p>Here is the first sneak preview of what is coming:</p>
<p>The ebook is now divided into three parts, with each part containing two or three chapters. This makes the book more cohesive and easier to follow as well as easier to teach in a one-on-one or group environment:</p>
<p><a href=""http://www.volunteercentered.com/images/hwc2-preview1.png"><img src="http://www.volunteercentered.com/images/hwc2-preview1-thumb.png"/></a></p>
<p>Each chapter now has a &#8220;Take Heart&#8221; page with questions that reinforce the ideas from the chapter and provide discussion questions for small group settings:</p>
<p><a href=""http://www.volunteercentered.com/images/hwc2-preview3.png"><img src="http://www.volunteercentered.com/images/hwc2-preview3-thumb.png"/></a></p>
<p>Finally, each chapter has a &#8220;Take Action&#8221; page that will guide you on how to start taking immediate action as a leader:</p>
<p><a href=""http://www.volunteercentered.com/images/hwc2-preview6.png"><img src="http://www.volunteercentered.com/images/hwc2-preview6-thumb.png"/></a></p>
