An invitation to love like Jesus and step beyond distraction and division into the joy we long to experience-from the author of The Deeply Formed Life, winner of the Christianity Today Book AwardWe long for a good life, a beautiful life, a kind life. But clearly that' s not the world we live in. We carry the stress of our fractured world in our bodies and relationships. Families that once gathered around tables have converted those tables into walls. Hostility, rage, and offense is the language of our culture. How did we lose goodness, kindness, and beauty? And more important, how do we get them back into our lives? These are the two questions crying out in our streets, homes, churches, and from deep within our souls. Pastor and author Rich Villodas is convinced that only Jesus offers a way of being human that is both strong and tender enough to tear down the walls of hostility we experience daily. In Good and Beautiful and Kind, he reveals how. . . . These three essentials are stolen by sin, powers and principalities, and trauma. . We can get goodness, beauty, and kindness back through contemplative prayer, humility, and the cultivation of calm presence. . The traits of healthy conflict, forgiveness, and justice lead to wholeness, healing, and a new collective future-when rooted in the ancient way of Jesus. Filled with fresh energy, classic truth, and practical solutions, this is your road map for stepping beyond distraction and division to love like Jesus. Doing so will change the atmosphere within you. . . and around you!
