Loving Samaritans : Radical kindness in an us vs. them world
Outline : In a world defined by division, what would it mean to see people the way Jesus sees them? As a pastor, Terry Christ is committed to building deep relationships with people whose experiences are different from his own - people whom much of society rejects. Why? Because those relationships are where we see Jesus at work. Drawing fresh insights from the story of Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well, Terry shares how to trade judgment for grace, disputes for harmony, apathy for empathy, and hate for love. By the end of this book, you will be able to:
- Identity how you see the world and why it matters
- Recognize those on the margins who are right around you
- Reflect Jesus' love in your interactions with others
- Extend dignity to people suffering from mental illness, homelessness, and addiction
- Maintain healthy relationships, even when family members hold opposing views
- Serve as an ambassador of reconciliation in your community
We come close to Jesus when we love people society tells us we should love. And that just might change everything.
