If there is a formula for living a meaningful and successful life, love and goodness are its two key ingredients.
Love and Goodness is a heartfelt and empowering guide to living with faith, compassion, and purpose. In his latest work, four-time author Michael L. Nelson explores how God works within each of us through "love signals"-gentle nudges that call us to respond with goodness.
With clarity, humility, and the support of fifteen inspiring real-life stories, Nelson shows how even the smallest gestures can completely transform lives. Readers will discover practical wisdom on recognizing God's love signals, awakening their Spirit of Goodness, and making choices that reflect their faith in action.
Whether you're seeking to deepen your spiritual journey or become a more generous and intentional person, Love and Goodness will encourage you to live each day with the mission to make the world a better, kinder place.
Michael L. Nelson graduated from the University of Mississippi and worked for IBM in Memphis, Tennessee, for the first ten years of his business career. He went on to become a partner in a technology related leasing company and to serve as the president of a large technology services organization in Chicago, Illinois. In addition, Michael served on the board of a Mid-South bank for over ten years. Michael and his wife, Betty, have two grown children, both with MBAs and very successful in their own right. In addition, they have three wonderful grandchildren, all with college degrees and now making some good choices of their own.
Michael has written three other books: Good Choices Good Life, Living by Choice, and Life and Choices. All are currently available on Amazon. Michael has come to strongly believe that God works primarily through people. The most important spiritual influences in our lives, he believes, are provided by God via love signals in our hearts and are supported by our God-given Spirit of Goodness, which motivates us and helps us respond to the love signals that God provides. As he has thought about God's presence over the years, he has come to realize the almost unbelievable importance of our choices. Our choices provide a pathway for us to follow the love signals provided by God and to help others in some special way.
