Your Next 24 Hours: One Day of Kindness Can Change Everything

by Hal Donaldson, Kirk Noonan, Candace Payne (Foreword by)

Overview

If asked, who among us wouldn't say we were kind people? But kindness is often manifested in feelings of pity or sympathy—especially when others are watching—rather than in deeds. And when it comes down to it, what good does mere feeling do for the world?

Your Next 24 Hours is about something much bigger—a lifestyle of kindness, without thought of reciprocation, extended toward every person in our lives, both friend and foe. Through powerful true stories of kindness lived out, this book shows readers the enormous difference they can make through small, doable acts of kindness in their families, communities, workplaces, schools, and churches. It shows how every encounter with another person is an opportunity to be kind—and a chance to change our world.

Readers of Your Next 24 Hours will find deep satisfaction and joy as they discover how they can be part of a revolution of kindness that starts with them and reaches out through every person their lives touch.
