Description
"I want to love my neighbor, but I don't know how."
Most of us feel guilty about Christ's command to love our neighbor, but let's be honest--we don't even know most of the people living around us.
How can we love people we don't even know? Besides, doesn't it count as "loving our neighbor" when we send money to missionaries and put out yard signs for our church? Are we supposed to just knock on our neighbors' doors and tell them about Jesus?
"They'll think I'm weird."
How to Love Your Neighbor Without Being Weird helps you overcome fears about getting to know your neighbors and sharing your faith. You'll learn simple, practical ways to get to know your neighbors, using your God-given personality. As you venture out of the comfort of your living room and into the lives of your neighbors, you'll form authentic friendships, create a safer community, and find fulfillment in obeying Christ's #2 command.
Loving your neighbor isn't a random command; it's God's perfect plan.

Melissa P, Reviewer
This is an intriguing, challenging, and meaningful book. I loved everything that it has to say about being a good neighbor and what that actually means. There's no exception for bad neighbors (people you know, are acquainted with, etc) and God's call is very important. There's no better way to show His love than by being a good neighbor.
