"Alex reminds us all that, in the midst of darkness and misery, we can still see God."--Dr. Heather Thompson Day, author of It's Not Your Turn
When it feels the world is more contentious and less civil than it was a generation ago . . . or a few years ago . . . or maybe even last week, we long to be reassured that everything is going to be okay, that God is still at work, even in small ways. The good news is, even when our circumstances change, God does not. He is still in control, and he still offers us good gifts. We just have to know where to look for them.

Exploring the beautiful admonition found in Philippians 4:8 to think on whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy, Alexandra Kuykendall encourages you to keep seeking out goodness even in a time of fear, division, and negativity. Through personal stories and clear biblical insight, Alex helps you see God at work right now, right in your midst, no matter how messy life feels. She helps you appreciate other people even when you disagree with them, move past false dichotomies, celebrate goodness in others when you find it, and hope for a brighter tomorrow even as you celebrate the good gifts you receive today.

"Lately I've been wondering if it is possible to find unity among people who believe, think, and act differently from one another. And then I picked up Alex's book. Seeking Out Goodness offers a trail map to those of us who feel lost in the wilderness of cultural division. If there is any way forward, it is found here in these pages. This book is just in time."--Krista Gilbert, homecoach, author of Reclaiming Home, and cohost of The Open Door Sisterhood podcast

"Cynicism is the spirit of our age, but we will not be able to resist it passively. We need intentional steps for cultivating life where the world sows death, and Alexandra Kuykendall has provided it in these pages. With one eye on culture and the other on Scripture, this is a message for our moment!"--Sharon Hodde Miller, author of Nice: Why We Love to Be Liked and How God Calls Us to Be More
