As Christians, we know we are called to love our neighbor. We may even grasp that "neighbor" encompasses more than just the people living next door or down the street. But what we too often don't know is how to begin . How do we love our neighbor? Where do we start? What does this look like in our increasingly isolated world?Following practices outlined in the first chapter of 2 Peter, Alexandra Kuykendall lays out the framework for where to begin. From practicing humility to listening with understanding to being generous in our relationships, Loving My Actual Neighbor offers practical, start-now steps readers can take to love their neighbors. With her approachable, friendly tone and down-to-earth advice, Kuykendall has carved out for herself a place in the hearts of readers, who will be thrilled to extend her commonsense approach into this sphere of their lives.
There’s a number of people I would love to have more of a relationship with, but it’s sometimes difficult because of our differences. This book is so encouraging and crammed full of common sense on how to love our neighbors. It’s refreshing to hear that despite our differences we can and should have a relationship with them.
If you are looking for a way to impact relationships and make a difference that’s right in front of you, then this book will be the inspiration for you. She challenges and encourages us to practice engaging in life with those we are surrounded by even though it may be awkward or difficult at times. She encourages us to examine ourselves. She gives us ideas on how we can reach out to others in practical ways. She challenges us to actually go out and do it. This is an excellent book on loving others.
