Honest to Goodness

This devotional book invites readers to spend time each day examining God’s own words in the Old and New Testaments so that we might better understand who we are, who God is, what God expects from us, and—likewise—what we can expect from God. Through the words of Jesus, we discover the one-ness of the Father’s love, revealed in the beloved Son through the power of God’s Holy Spirit.

The common denominator in all these words and deeds is honesty. And listening to God’s honesty leads us to experience God’s goodness. In other words, as we discover more of the truth and beauty of a loving God, we can move from honest to goodness.

God wants us to think, speak, and act in response—the more honest and good, the better. In a world filled with deception, greed, and violence, people of faith are called to stand up and speak out for honesty and goodness.

This is a thoughtful companion for a journey through Lent or for anytime of the year.
