Love and Goodness
Sharing God's Gifts with Others
by Michael L. Nelson
NEW BOOK: Love and Goodness COMING SOON!
Since retiring, I've had the opportunity to write three books—Good Choices Good Life, Living by Choice, and Life and Choices. As I thought my way through the development of these books, God’s potential role in our lives, and in our choices, popped up many times. As a result, I devoted some of my previous writings to this thinking and to my beliefs about God’s role and influence in our lives.
Recently, I decided to “round up" my thinking about God’s presence in our lives and devote a new book to my view of “where God is” and how God provides guidance and direction in our lives. I’m certainly not trying to establish myself as an authority on what is the most important presence in our lives. Instead, I want to share the understanding I’ve gained from my thinking and writing over the years in hopes that it will help you and others as it has helped me.
So, this new book is about love (God at work within us) and goodness (our response to that love). It's overriding point is this...you can significantly improve the satisfaction you receive from your living by letting love and goodness have a greater influence on the choices you make each day.
