Book Review: A Splash of Kindness

 
About the book:
Great things begin with the smallest acts of goodness. These incredible, true stories began with a simple thought or action from another and became so much more. Be inspired by dedicated teachers, encouraging friends, and random acts of kindness. You don’t need a high-powered title to make a profound impact. This book is guaranteed to remind you how your own compassion, courage, and character can change the world!

Reidhead Randomness:

An encouraging collection of short stories that will get you thinking about your own life and the influences you have on others!

The book begins with a reminder and short story about how small stones thrown into a pond create ripples.  Then, we are asked to relate that to our life through the stories.  It was a great experience to ponder and reflect how different events might have turned out, without the ripple effect.  It is a great reminder how all of our actions, words, lives, and examples have an effect on others.

There are so many WONDERFUL stories, it is hard to choose a favorite!  I really liked the story about Mr. Farnsworth, the inventor of TV....especially being a resident of Utah!

Each story is  though provoking and inspires you to do better, and think about the influence you can have on others too.

I received a copy of the book in order to write my review, however all opinions expressed are my own.
