Thank you, Candace. Thanks for being my new friend. Thank you for reminding me of my faith in God. I will be reading you again in July. Being mean is easy, being kind is classy. I love this book so so much!
Reading the Bible, Bible app, taking deep breaths, pausing, forgiveness, writing down my prayers, asking God for help and guidance, and believing in Him more so now.

I’m definitely more of a Staying Stylish girl. I will read anything that Candace writes because I love her as a person. She radiates kindness & this book was nothing short of that. It was a good, quick read. I only rated it 3 stars because it seemed a little repetitive. Also there was a lot of religion involved, which I don’t care to read about. I knew that there probably would be going into this because Candace is a Christian woman. I think it was beautifully written, the content just wasn’t 100% for me.

“Whether we disagree on politics, religion, family values, or parenting standards, we always have the opportunity to be kind. No matter what dividing lines fall between you and a colleague, friend, or family member, you can always demonstrate compassion while remaining true to your convictions.” An excerpt from Kind Is The New Classy, The Power of Living Graciously by Candace Cameron Bure. Thank you Amber Peltier for the book suggestion! I love that Candace is unapologetic in her beliefs: “My purpose is to glorify God.” Her book is suffused with God’s Word, encouragement, traditional values and good manners - truly classy and principled.

I know people have said this book is a little preachy. Maybe if you're not a Christian. Either way, the lessons in the book are ones everyone needs to hear.
I found the lessons, reminders, suggestions, ideas to be very applicable to my life right now. Especially when it comes to social media.

I'm not American so I don't know who she is. I didn't know she was Christian or a talk show host - this book (I listened to the audio version narrated by her) reads much more like a talk show segment than a typical self help book.
A big issue I had was her faith. Not because I'm anti-Christian or anything, but the synopsis mentions it once. However, the book constantly refers to the bible and her faith. As it is not something I went into the book knowing, it made it difficult to connect as it felt like a Christian self help book, rather than just a self help book, so please keep that in mind.
A good book. Not groundbreaking. I listened to it on 2x because it was repetitive in places and all the talk of God was not for me.

I picked this book up because I like Candace’s values or at least the ones that I have seen her voice.
I wasn’t sure what the book would be about just loved the name if I am being honest.
I find it is always better to be Kind it becomes a domino effect or at least I found it has in my life.
I really liked the message this book has; I am very glad I picked it up and actually listened.
Loved that the author did her own narration it makes it that much more authentic.
