Book Description
Scholarly reflection on kindness raises a variety of issues and perspectives. In order to consider the impact of kindness on various aspects of human existence, it is first necessary to give it a concrete meaning. This seemingly simple task turns out to be quite challenging. The prevailing definitional chaos in the literature, the lack of consensus on basic terminological assumptions, indicates a deficit in the theoretical understanding of the concept of kindness and, perhaps more importantly, poses a problem when attempting to verify existing empirical findings, raising doubts about the generalizability of the conclusions and possible comparative studies. The book is an attempt to clarify the definition of the phenomenon of kindness. It is the result of the first research of its kind and carried out on such a scale in Poland. The main aim of the study was to determine how Polish youth understands the concept of kindness.

Book Description
My dear friend, God has His very unique way of planting His loving, Christian saints in just the right places. They are there to love just the right people, at just the right time. The ingredient of love is really the one ingredient that turns saints into true creations of God, made after His own heart! The Enduring Kindness of Christians has been their trademark. They have their very own personal stamp, which has set them apart from all others in the vast ocean of humanity. This has been true ever since Jesus left His foot prints for them to follow. By following His example saints have realized that they have found the great secret of life. That secret can only be found when we choose to mine the great treasure-chest of God’s wisdom given to those who will spend their lives reading God’s Word, The Bible. Each person who chooses to pick away in this mineshaft, will find the greatest of all treasures and they will find the secret of life. They will learn that we find the most pleasure in life when we are pleasing God. When we are most satisfied with making God happy, by the way we live our lives, that having such an attitude will bring much happiness to God. When that happens our lives bring glory to God and God, in turn uses us for the benefit of others! The Enduring Kindness of Christians, to God be the Glory!

Book Description
“Simple acts of kindness” are not so simple. Broidy argues both for the complexity of kindness in action, and for the value of an approach to teachers’ relationship with their students and other clients that is rooted in a “sensibility of kindness.” Broidy’s case for kindness begins by disentangling the concept of kindness from its many near relations. He traces the role of kindness and related concepts in both American educational history and in modern organizations promoting their versions of kindness. Broidy explores the ways we decide ethical questions, focusing on the complex of perceptions, emotions, dispositions, and priorities that form our ethical sensibilities. He argues that a sensibility oriented toward kindness is the best foundation for a teaching ethic; and shows how new and working teachers can develop and employ such a teaching ethic. Finally, he connects a kindness-oriented teaching ethic to the societal need to maintain and develop a long-term democratic ideal. Perfect for courses such as: Foundations, Philosophy of Education, Introduction to Education, Methods, Professional Ethics, Teacher Education

Book Description
For the Christian, no magic wand exists for effective soul winning. We have been given the Person of the Holy Spirit as our helper, along with tools such as using the law, wisdom, prayer etc., to guide us in our efforts to obey the Great Commission. However, all of our feeble efforts must rest upon the foundation of Gods nature. Just like the foundation of a building must be strong to allow and sustain its erection, so too must Christ-followers draw the lost to the cross from the bedrock of Gods nature of kindness. The kindness of God is not simply a politically correct clich, but the very key to unlocking the heart of the unbeliever.
