Through simple strategies and real-life stories showing the amazing impact of servant evangelism, Conspiracy of Kindness reveals how we can persuasively communicate the love of God through actions rather than words alone. For example, churches, groups, and individuals can show the life-changing love of Christ simply by washing windows, cleaning toilets, and more. Romans 2:4 tells us that God's kindness leads to repentance. He is "looking for people who are willing to participate in acts of love and kindness to those outside of their present circle. He is looking for people who believe that a humble demonstration of love plants a seed of eternity in the hearts of others that will blossom into faith in Christ" (p. 11-12). Servant evangelism allows everyday believers to show God's love in practical ways |

Overview:
As believers, sharing the good news of Jesus Christ to a lost and dying world should be a priority. However, effectively communicating that message can be a daunting task.
