Kindness from a stranger can change our view of the day or even our lives, especially in trying times. If that stranger has given up something in order to be kind, we might even think of that person as an angel sent from God.

Because at various times in their lives, each of the writers listed below has acted with great kindness - even toward strangers - it was very challenging for them to switch their focus to what someone else has done for them. Yet their stories in this book are a reminder of the way God shows up in unexpected places and through unexpected people in our unpredictable world.
