Description: The real-life stories contained in "Conspiracy of Kindness" illuminate how every follower of Christ can become an effective evangelist through unassuming acts of kindness--simple behaviors that communicate the love of God more persuasively than words.
Brief description: Steve Sjogren has lived in Los Angeles, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Tampa, and Oslo, Norway as he and his wife, Janie, have helped launch new churches aimed at connecting with those who are like him--spiritual but not religious. The church in Cincinnati, Vineyard Community Church, grew from 30 to more than 6,000 weekly attendees mainly through showing creative, free acts of kindness to the community such as scrubbing toilets. Steve and Janie are urban missionaries, working with Kindness Outreach Ministries. They can be reached through their site, Kindness.com. They have three children and a long-haired dachshund named Olive.
