“As a leader and teacher who prized niceness, I’m shocked by the truth uncovered in Nice. It’s simple—but true—and completely profound. Niceness has trumped honesty and crept into pulpits, cubicles, and friendships, disguised as a Fruit of the Spirit. Sharon bravely prunes and removes the faux-virtue and pushes us to bear real fruit.”
