    Become Part of a Counterculture of Kindness! 
 
Selfishness, pride, and hostility dominate the headlines, social media, and everyday interactions. But what if every Christian did one simple act of kindness each week? What if you could spark a revolution just by bringing someone a meal, offering to carry someone's groceries, or sharing an encouraging word? Or maybe just by listening respectfully to someone you disagree with! 
 
With rousing encouragement and biblical insight, Dr. Tony Evans shows how, when we let the kindness of God change us, we can change the world. Through real-life examples and practical teaching, he empowers each of us to  
 
· choose honor over hate  
· recognize everyday opportunities to spread God's love  
· discover the courage to step out in kindness  
 
Kindness is catching. It's time to let God's love ignite a countercultural movement that overcomes evil with good.

    If we’re honest none of us find evangelism easy. We’re told we should do it, we might know that we should be doing it, but the reality is often too scary.  Paul Williams is realistic about our fear and guilt, but with gentleness he shows us that the key to banishing our fear isn’t complex and clever answers, but rather to take our friends to the person of Jesus.  He gives practical examples of how we can naturally and thoughtfully share how Jesus answers, and is the answer to commonly asked questions. Paul also shares how this simple model has led to greater confidence and joy in his own evangelism. This can be our joy too!
