Courageous Kindness: Live the Simple Difference Right Where You Are
In the face of the world's problems, kindness may seem like a long-lost virtue without enough power to make an impact. Yet we are called to show courageous kindness to those around us--even those we don't agree with--just as God has shown us kindness beyond measure. How we treat people matters! Every small kindness we show has the potential to create waves of lasting change in Jesus's name.
God wants to use your ordinary days--as you go on your way--to accomplish more than you could ever expect. Courageous Kindness is a six-week Bible study that will help you
- start making an impact right where you are and using exactly what you have
- embrace the power of inconvenience and put on compassion
- learn to live eyes wide open to the evidence of God's abundant kindness
If you're ready to experience and share the kind of radical kindness that changes the world, join your friends at (in)courage and become a woman of courageous kindness, one simple, life-changing step at a time.

Courageous Kindness is a Bible study which will expand your scope of kindness and change the way you view those around you for the better. I’m a big fan of these studies from incourage because they are in depth without being too time consuming for someone who is very busy. I highly recommend this study to someone who desires to touch the world with kindness and help change their own heart to see the needs of others.

I am blown away by the Courageous Series Bible Studies! They are all on point and having the courage to be kind is just what we needed in this chaotic world today. I'm thankful for the opportunity to get to be on a launch team with them and share in the messages that are being sent out to encourage readers and leaders around the world. "It takes courage to face the reality of false thinking." This quote by Becky Keife really hits home. How many times have I thought wrong because it was backed by my own baggage and not truly responding to what the original person who acted or spoke intended? Too many times and it lead straight to an unkind response. But this book really helps you to check yourself and move forward with more right thinking than not. The questions asked in this bible study help you to reflect on things you never really brought out into the light. It helps you to see differently and respond with more love and kindness. I love how the author ends each day with prayer and there are videos to watch at end of each week. So grateful for this wonderful bible study and the opportunity to learn how to partner with the Lord in "his un-relentless pursuit for his children's hearts." I highly recommend this book and all of the "Courageous" series.

I haven't had a chance to complete the book yet but from what I have read it is amazing. Becky manages to make it seem so simple to find kindness in every day life (hence the title). It is humbling to see all the places to display kindness and receive it on a daily basis that you do not really think about, and how simply being more kind can make such a big impact in not only your life but the lives of others.
It does take a sense of courage to go out and be kind and practice kindness all the time, but in doing so it should become second nature and allow you to make a difference in many lives.

This is the fourth book in the Courageous series by incourage. I absolutely love this Bible study series! There are similar tones throughout such as God being able to use you how you are and right where you are. Courageous Kindness is (so far) absolutely outstanding and works well with Becky Keife’s The Simple Difference to go more in depth biblically about kindness. Each of the six weeks has five days so the workload is very manageable, even for my busy stay-at-home mom schedule. We all need more kindness in our world. This book is packed full of good examples, all pointing back to the goodness of our Lord.

October 14, 2021Another great study from (in)courage. This is another easy to read study that is so encouraging. The study is divided into weeks, and days per week. Each day has a story that illustrates the concept, scripture quotes and prayers are in each day. I love the questions for thought with plenty of room for notes. These studies are so well written. It may take courage, but kindness can change the world. It is easy and this study inspires and gives hope. Kindness is so needed right now. A must read for anyone who wants to grow closer to God and live out your purpose.

Another wonderful study in the Courageous bible study series. Like the other studies, this is a six-week study. This study focuses on kindness toward others and yourself allowing God to use you just as you are right where you at in every day life. Pairing it with The Simple Difference will help guide you to those opportunities you have been overlooking in your day-to-day life. This is a study that helps you face some truths that you may not know about yourself. But also helps you use what you learn for God's Glory.

This bible study pairs well with Becky Keife's book "The Simple Difference". Like the other bible studies in (in)Courage's Courageous Bible Study Series, the stories are relatable. There is so much wisdom, grace and truth in these studies that will speak directly to your heart and encourage you right where you are. I recommend working through the entire series, but they are complete studies in and of themselves. You can dive right into any one of them and not feel like you've missed anything.

Just working through this bible study. It is a 6 week study with 5 days per week. Well laid out study with questions, room to write, and stories. Each day is just the right amount per day. Goes with the Simple Difference by Becky Keife. This book is part of a series by (in)courage. Recommended for someone who likes bible studies to have a study to go along with a written book.

Something everyone needs to learn to do a little everyday.
This Bible Study is set on a very simple premise and yet when you dig into God’s Word it is totally life changing. So simple yet seems so hard for most of us to extend to others.
And yet again and again this study reminds us to Love God and Love people and with our simple kindness we can show the world this great commandment.

Went through this book with my Sunday School class and really enjoyed it! I loved reading and thinking through it on my own and then talking about our answers as a group...it helped me see things from different angles and I feel like I've grown a lot closer to God and to my church friends! Highly recommend! ❤️

The Simple Difference: How Every Small Kindness Makes a Big Impact
(Launch 9-30-21) In this study on kindness, Becky Keife introduces Jesus as the ultimate model as she shares her gentle wisdom, humor, and real-life examples from family and others with a transparency that draws readers into introspection and action. The following twelve chapters focus on such topics as “Every Word Counts,” “Hardest at Home,” “Undeserved,” “Unexpected Teachers,” and “It’s Not About You.” Each ends with “Three Keys to Living the Simple Difference” consisting of Pray it bold (a prayer to accompany the theme of the chapter: “God, in times of crisis, I want to be a helper”), Live it now (practical ways to take action: “Give a stranger a genuine compliment or word of encouragement”), and Say it loud (an affirmation to encourage readers: “Showing up always makes a difference”). In current times when so much of our spirit is being crushed by negative forces, it’s inspiring to be encouraged to do small acts of kindness that make a tremendous difference on those around us as well as ourselves. Thank you, Becky, for your excellent book! (I received an ARC, and my opinions are honestly given.)
