Conspiracy of Kindness

Conspiracy of Kindness: A Refreshing Approach to Sharing the Love of Jesus, Steve Sjogren, Regal Books, Ventura CA, (1993) 2003. ISBN: 0-8307-3407-4. The “conspiracy of kindness” operates on a simple premise: Loving deeds done by unassuming Christians convince more people of the love of God than all the words in the world. God is seeking to enter the heart on this planet, but he faces a significant obstacle to his conspiracy. The problem has never been the message; we have that straight, for the most part. Neither is God’s problem the lack of an audience; plenty of people need to hear the good news. His problem is the reluctant army he calls the Church. God 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. This tenth-anniversary edition contains the author's epilogue, in which he describes the impact kindness evangelism has had on Christianity throughout the world.
