“Tov is a one word summary for God’s approval.” Tov is the Genesis word for good or goodness. God saw all that he/she had made and called it good and very good. This book is first of all a critique of churches who head in the opposite direction from Tov and the second half of the book attempts to suggest ways in which we can be and become Tov churches. “Jesus, the one true man of Tov.” The latter half of the book is filled with ideas and approaches for churches to nurture a Goodness Culture through nurturing empathy, grace, truth, justice, and service, creating a people first culture or Christlikeness.
