Download The Art of Neighboring: Building Genuine Relationships Right Outside Your Door AudioBook Free
When Jesus was asked to sum up everything into one command word, he thought to love God with everything we've and to love our neighborhood friends as ourselves. Most of us have transformed this simple notion of loving our neighborhood friends into a nice saying, putting it on bumper stickers and refrigerator magnets and then going on with this lives without actually putting it into practice. What would happen if every follower of Jesus got the Great Commandment literally? Is it feasible that the solution to our society's biggest issues has been right under our noses for the past 2,000 years? Once upon a time, people recognized their neighborhood friends. They talked to them, possessed cook-outs with them, and visited cathedral with them. In our time of unprecedented freedom and increasing isolationism, it's hard to make sustained associations with those who live right outside our front door. We have hundreds of "friends" through online sociable networking, but we often don't even understand the full name of the person who lives right nearby. This original and inspiring publication asks the question: What's the most caring thing I could do for people who go on my block or in my apartment building? Through powerful true testimonies of lives impacted, the authors explain how to generate genuine friendships with people who stay in closest proximity to us.
