Voters at Beliefnet have eschewed the big names and voted for a little known person to be the most inspiring person of 2005. Victoria Ruvolo outpolled the likes of Bono and Rick Warren, who didn't make it to the finals.
It is refreshing and dare I say hopeful in a "Christian" sense that it was the relatively unknown with no media machine behind them who proved to be the most inspiring. (That is not to say all the people on the list weren't inspiring).
As Beliefnet says,
The three finalists selected by our readers Alex Scott, David Rozelle, and Victoria Ruvolo have one thing in common: Each was an “ordinary” person who, when faced with difficult circumstances, did extraordinary things. Each exhibited qualities we wish we had, but fear we don’t.
