The Kindness of God: Beholding His Goodness in a Cruel World
Kindness has fallen on hard times. Almost daily, we witness or experience cynicism, impatience, or incivility. And it begins to wear on a soul. Overall, we're not doing well. We need hope. We need truth. We need God. In The Kindness of God, pastor and teacher Nate Pickowicz shows how our lives must be understood and lived in light of God's kindness. Pickowicz brings the reader along a joy-filled journey of discovering God's life-giving lovingkindness and compassion. This book is for Christians overwhelmed with their life circumstances. It's for anyone who is feeling disappointment or hurt from a fractured relationship. It's for all those who are discouraged by caustic political discourse. And it's for those who are saddened or frustrated, desiring more from life . . . more from God. This book offers biblical salve to spiritual wounds and answers how God's own character remains intact even when wounds are inflicted by others. You will come away from this book, marveling and thanking God for His immeasurable kindness. And you will come to reflect His kindness more deeply in your own life toward others. In a world that can feel dark and cold, this resource is a light of God's kindness!

"In a world that equates kindness with mere niceness, this book is a biblical corrective. Pickowicz shows from Scripture that God's kindness is a merciful expression of His goodness—that is, the unchanging standard of what is right and pure. In The Kindness of God, we are reminded that our Father loves to give good gifts to His children—especially the gift of His lovingkindness toward us in every circumstance and season of our lives."
