Publisher's Description
If asked, who among us wouldn't say we were kind people? But kindness is often manifested in feelings of pity or sympathy--especially when others are watching--rather than in deeds. And when it comes down to it, what good does mere feeling do for the world? Your Next 24 Hours is about something much bigger--a lifestyle of kindness, without thought of reciprocation, extended toward every person in our lives, both friend and foe. Through powerful true stories of kindness lived out, this book shows readers the enormous difference they can make through small, doable acts of kindness in their families, communities, workplaces, schools, and churches. It shows how every encounter with another person is an opportunity to be kind--and a chance to change our world. Readers of Your Next 24 Hours will find deep satisfaction and joy as they discover how they can be part of a revolution of kindness that starts with them and reaches out through every person their lives touch.

“On several occasions, I have had the opportunity to interact with Convoy of Hope up close and personal. Each time, I have come away deeply moved, inspired, changed, and motivated to become more deeply involved in their work. I am so glad the authors have taken the time and effort to share with us lessons that remind us of the power of kindness and compassion. I hope this book helps inspire many, many people to reach out and serve others even more.”

“The authors are living representations of true kindness. Their kindness is shown through the remarkable work of Convoy of Hope. Through Convoy they feed children, empower women, train farmers in developing nations, and help with disaster relief around the world. Simply put, they are changing the lives of people wherever they go. “Their greatest display of kindness, however, is shown in the way they treat every person they come in contact with in their day-to-day lives. “We wholeheartedly endorse Your Next 24 Hours: One Day of Kindness Can Change Everything.”
“This book reveals the secrets to a more rewarding life. Kindness comes from the condition of the heart. When a person chooses to live a life of kindness, they receive so much more than they give. Once you start reading this book, you won’t be able to put it down.”
“It’s easy to love the lovable, be kind to the kind, and reciprocate to those who have first done something nice for us. Ours is a world built around the bold and the beautiful, the pretty and the eloquent. But what about those who are seemingly unlovable, shy, unnoticed, less fortunate? “Such people are all around us, and we often take them for granted. But as Jesus modeled, perhaps we could lift up their spirits if—through kindness—we simply noticed them. “Your Next 24 Hours encourages us to do just that! My wife, Kendi, and I encourage you to read this book and to use acts of kindness to uplift those around you.”
“If I hadn’t read this book, my next 24 hours would look exactly like my last 24 hours. But thanks to the authors and the stories gleaned from their combined century of service, my next 1,440 minutes are exploding with possibilities. The authors take the “random” out of acts of kindness to empower us toward an intentional kindness revolution.”
“We can’t think of anyone more qualified to share about kindness. The authors reflect what it means to live and breathe abundant kindness and compassion. Their lives inspire us and others to do the same.”
“We were raised to always be kind when given the opportunity. After reading Your Next 24 Hours, we were inspired to look for opportunities to show kindness daily.”
“After traveling to Tanzania and seeing first hand the work Convoy is doing, it is evident they have changed millions of lives for the better. From Convoy’s soil scientists revolutionizing impoverished farmers’ crops to the Women’s Empowerment program enabling women to live self-sufficient lives—the authors have devoted their lives to wisely spreading compassion around the world.”
“The authors have impacted millions around the world through the generosity and incredible work of Convoy of Hope. Now, in Your Next 24 Hours, you can jump into their story in depth, share their pain, struggles, and successes, and be inspired to make a difference wherever you live and lead. I believe wholeheartedly in the work of Convoy of Hope, and you should, and will, too after consuming the stories in this hope-filled book.”
