Summary

The Bible tells us that we are to love our neighbors as ourselves--but do we like our neighbors? Do we take the time to build relationships with people who are not Christians?This book is about sharing your faith--and much more. You'll discover the importance of breaking down stereotypes between Christians and non-Christians. And you'll find ways to connect with non-Christians through sharing meals, exercising together, helping each other with projects and dozens of other ideas. Your relationships can have eternal impact and enrich your life too!With this book Stephen W. Sorenson puts forth a radical idea: seekers have something to offer us. As we receive and as we offer God's love, we may discover that non-Christians are more like us than we realize.
