Goodness - by Hope*books Collaboration (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Is God Still Good When My Life Is Not?

We live in a world where the good, the true, and the beautiful often feel rare. From cancer diagnoses, miscarriages, and financial hardship to house fires, alienation, and natural disasters, God's goodness seems beyond belief. Goodness: Shining His Light shares the wisdom of those who have walked these trials before and still cling to the truth of God's goodness in difficult circumstances. These chapters teach us that God's goodness is not reliant on our circumstances and remind us that Goodness is:

• Born in the Valley: God meets us in grief, loss, and seasons we never would have chosen.
• His Light Within Us: Goodness is not rule-keeping, but God's character shining through a surrendered heart.
• Restored: Stories of redemption and healing live in unexpected moments when God returns what was lost.
• Active: You can live practically with integrity, extend grace, and reflect His goodness in everyday life.

With contributions from Cevilla Garber, Joyce Prutz, Leilani Wood, Whitney Driskell, Francesca Follone-Montgomery, OFS, Tricia Eddy, Karen Hill Bedells, Nakia Armstrong, and Emily Humphries, Goodness: Shining His Light is the sixth volume in the Fruits of the Spirit Collaborative Book Series dedicated to featuring stories that bring Galatians 5:22-23 to life.

Each story points to one truth-goodness does not begin with us. It flows from Him, and when we yield to His Spirit, His light shines through us, even in the valleys.
