Random Acts of Kindness

It all started in Sausalito, California, in 1982, when Anne Herbert scrawled "practice random acts of kindness and senseless acts of beauty" on a place mat in a restaurant. From there it spread to bumper stickers, quietly at first, but with the powerful momentum of something important calling us to lives of caring and compassion. The bestselling book, Random Acts of Kindness, which includes touching stories, quotations, and thoughtful suggestions, creates a feeling of possibility that can propel us into lives of compassion.

The Random Acts of Kindness series has sold over 1.5 million copies!

Heartwarming stories that embody Christ's lessons of love, compassion, and kindness.
At the heart of Christianity is a very simple message about love and kindness, the most powerful tools available to permanently and profoundly affect our lives and the lives of those around us. These heartwarming stories, collected by the Random Acts of Kindness Foundation, present shining examples of people around the world living the Christian credo to "love thy neighbor as thyself." From the church group that shovels driveways for strangers, to the woman who opened her home to shelter a group of people from a hurricane, to the church fund collected to pay for a local girl's college tuition, Christian Acts of Kindness is a gathering of inspiring stories and quotations about the power of kindness. Together, they prove that ours is not a path of obligation or duty, but rather the path of giving in loving kindness.
