The Star Thrower Story

Now, one of Joel Barker’s most cherished stories, The Star Thrower, is available as a short film! Taken from his best-selling program, The Power of Vision, Joel Barker’s version of the Loren Eiseley classic reminds us that we all have the ability to make a difference. As individuals, we can choose to take action and participate in the world around us. Together, we can shape the future. We all have a gift to give; our challenge is to find it.

Vision without action is merely a dream.
Action without vision just passes time.
Vision with action can change the world.
