<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Drawing on the Parable of the Sower, speaker, blogger, and Bible teacher unpacks five destructive idols of "nice" Christianity we must discard to experience life-giving fruits of authentic discipleship.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>We live in a culture that prizes niceness as one of its highest virtues. Niceness keeps the peace, wins friends, gains influence, and serves our reputations well, but it also takes the teeth out of our witness and the power out of our faith. When we choose to be nice instead of faithful, we bear fruits that are bland, bitter, empty, or rotten to the core. <br/><br/>In this life-changing curriculum, Sharon Hodde Miller explores the seemingly innocent idol that has crept into our faith and quietly corrupted it, producing the bad fruits of cowardice, inauthenticity, shallowness, and more. Then she challenges participants to cultivate a better tree, providing practical steps to reclaim our credibility as followers of Christ and bear better, richer, more life-giving fruits.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><b>God never called us to be nice.</b><br/><b> </b><br/>Niceness. It keeps the peace, wins friends, gains influence, and serves our reputations well. It looks a lot like following Jesus, but it takes all the power and freedom out of our lives. With this eye-opening participant's guide, Sharon Hodde Miller shares her own battle with this false faith, confesses the bad fruit it produced in her life, and offers practical steps for cutting down the tree at its root. You'll learn how to<br/> <br/>- identify the most common forms of nice Christianity and how they manifest in your life<br/>- stop being nice and start practicing true kindness, honesty, courage, and joy<br/>- develop a deeper, sturdier faith that can withstand life's storms and even flourish in the middle of them <br/><br/>Take a stand, take back your faith, and follow the Savior who was kind, gentle, compassionate, patient, and good, but never simply nice.<br/><br/><b>Sharon Hodde Miller</b> leads Bright City Church in Durham, North Carolina, with her husband, Ike.
