As long as I can remember, Philippians 4:8 has been on repeat in my brain. A powerful and stirring verse, Alexandra Kuykendall calls it a road map for seeking out goodness. Wow. Yes, please! I cant think of a better sister than Alex to lead us through this concept with love, humor, kindness, wisdom, and courage. As one who is blessed to call Alex friend, I can say she is the real deal. This book is part journey, part confession, part education, and a whole lot of opportunity for change. I found myself challenged to think about goodness more deeply, as well as to bring more of my issues, habits, and struggles straight to Jesus. Be prepared to be brought into truth through story, practical application, contemplation, and exercises that will yield beautiful change in you. Go big, friend, and dive into this book with the expectation of finding goodness!
