Neighborliness

Love Like Jesus. Cross Dividing Lines. Transform Your Community.

By: David Docusen

Narrated by: David Docusen

Read by the author.

Do you want to love your neighbor as yourself but don’t know where to start? This practical, accessible guide to bridging the dividing lines of politics, race, and economics, both individually and as the church, will help you amplify Jesus in your community and build God’s kingdom.

When asked what the greatest commandment is, Jesus gave a two-part answer: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength” and also “Love your neighbor as yourself.”

Love God. Love others.

Jesus’ simple command to love your neighbor can feel overwhelming when your neighbor looks, lives, and votes differently than you do. Racial and economic tensions across the country have resulted in deep dividing lines that seem really intimidating to cross.

Docusen breaks down these lines in approachable chapters, including topics like these:

• how to actively seek out people you can benefit and encourage,
• what it means to find a diverse and supportive community that fulfills needs,
• examples of real-life experiences, including highlights and missteps of Docusen’s ongoing journey, and
• how churches can teach on difficult topics with grace and truth.

Neighborliness is a practical guide to bridging those dividing lines and learning to recognize and amplify the beauty of God in our communities. Backed by David’s speaking and training through the Neighborliness Center, this book will help individuals and churches reach out to their neighbors, love them through Christ, and build God’s kingdom.

Additional resources and discussion topics are available in the audiobook companion PDF download.

Love this book. Beautifully written, and gives a very clear picture of how we can be more like Christ by loving our neighbors- all of them. It’s a small world- everyone is an neighbor.

Great read, will make you want to learn more about a model of relationship and shared prosperity.

Amazing message and fantastic audible delivery!

This message is so needed in our society and I am grateful for David Docusen and his obedience to the call of this critical work. I’ve read the paperback, and I recommend it, but the delivery on this audio version is one of the best I’ve heard. This is not another author simply reciting their book, rather this is a man who is passionately walking you through each and every section with heart and an obvious desire to share this message. Pick it up and enjoy! I look forward to more from David Docusen!
