Book excerpt: Do our children view God as violent or compassionate? How does this understanding impact how they treat people? This book portrays God's radical inclusion and compassion in everyday scenes that kids can easily relate to. Images of God are both female and male as well as racially diverse. The second half transitions to how Jesus reveals God's love more fully for us to see. The reader is left knowing that God's love is endless, and that we can participate in this mystery as we continue to discover God's love all around us. Is God Nice? is meant to initiate conversation, questions and creative action. Consider this resource to be a spark that ignites the potential in our kids as they imagine a more compassionate and inclusive world.
