Story
Jesus said his followers would be a light to the world and a city on a hill - a warmly inviting, neighbor-loving, grace-and-truth filled destination for all. He envisioned his followers as life-giving neighbors, bosses, employees, and friends, the kind of people who return even insults with kindness and persecution with prayers. Irresistible Faith is a blueprint for pursuing this vision in our current moment, of redeemed individuals and a renewed community working for a restored world.

Story
In an era where we seem to be increasingly divided along racial lines, many are hesitant to step into the gap, fearful of saying or doing the wrong thing. At times the silence, particularly within the church, seems deafening. But change begins with an honest conversation among a group of Christians willing to give a voice to unspoken hurts, hidden fears, and mounting tensions. These ongoing dialogues have formed the foundation of a global movement called Be the Bridge. In this perspective-shifting book, founder Latasha Morrison shows how you can participate in this incredible work.

Story
Affluence, autonomy, safety, and power. These are the central values of the American dream. But are they actually compatible with Jesus' command to love our neighbor as ourselves? In essays grouped around these four values, D. L. Mayfield asks us to pay attention to the ways they shape our own choices, and the ways those choices affect our neighbors. Where did these values come from? How have they failed those on the edges of our society? And how can we disentangle ourselves from our culture's headlong pursuit of these values and live faithful lives of service to God and our neighbors?

Story
When a myriad of tense conversations about ideological differences in the Church left him feeling spiritually empty, Niequist determined God must have a different vision for worship and community. In his search, Aaron discovered that there was historical Christian precedent for enacting faith in a different way, an ancient and now future way of believing. He calls this third way "practice-based faith". This book is about loving one's faith tradition and, at the same time, following the call to something deeper and richer.

Adoption is one of the most radically inclusive aspects of God's kingdom. All of us belong to God's family - Jesus as God's son and the rest of us as his adopted children. In Adopted Kelley Nikondeha explores how the Christian concept of adoption into God's family can broaden our sense of belonging. Drawing on her own story as both an adopted child and an adoptive mother, Nikondeha invites listeners to a rich, biblically grounded understanding of adoption that reframes the way we perceive family, friends, and those in need of rescue.

Life changing
I first noticed PreEmptive Love Coalition when their Facebook ads for “Sisterhood Soap” hit my newsfeed. I loved it! The work of Preemptive Love Coalition gave shape to the refreshed hunger that Christ-following was stirring in my heart in the weirdly politicized “God and country” politics I faced all around me in my own family and friends.
My own world has been turning upside down for some time now, and both the name of the soap and the idea that there were Christians in the refugee camps “Loving Anyway” was exactly the face of Christ I needed to see.
Little did I know the decade of roots that supported this Tree of Life that appeared to be now flourishing in Iraq and Syria.
I am so grateful to know the whole story, as presented in this book. I could not put it down.
To potential readers/listers, I say:
This book is an experience, not just a book. I could not put it down, yet at times it literally hurt almost to much to continue on with listening to every audible word. There is a deep, blood/bought truth in these stories ... and I believe we are living in a season when the true followers of Christ will more and more distinguish themselves by living exactly as Jeremy speaks of in the book: in community, brutally honest yet mercifully kind, risking their safety, and “Loving Anyway.”
Highly recommend!
