Summary |
"As Christians, we know we are called to love our neighbor. But how do we do that? Where do we start? What does this book like in our increasingly isolated world? Following practices outlined in the first chapter of 2 Petere, Alexandra Kuykendall lays out the framework for where to begin. From practicing humility to listening with understanding to being generous in our relationships, [this book] offers practical, start-now steps you can take to love your actual neighbors."-- Back cover. |
