We are fearful of other people, particularly those whose views and votes don't correspond with our own. This won't change any time soon, and the divides won't be bridged easily, but loving our neighbors isn't an\u003cem\u003e option\u003c\/em\u003e for the Church--it's a \u003cem\u003ecommand\u003c\/em\u003e of Jesus. So how do we do this in our chilly spiritual climate? How should the American church move forward from a weakening cultural position?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAndrew Forrest unfolds a simple framework that applies to every single relationship in our lives. Readers will be inspired and prepared to risk and reach out to others, even or especially when they are afraid of those who are different or when they risk being misunderstood. They will learn how--if they choose--to transform those relationships into friendships of mutual respect. More than that, \u003cem\u003eLove Goes First\u003c\/em\u003e provides profound insights into the love of God, and they will have a new awe and appreciation for the steps God is taking to redeem the world he has made.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 224\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.48 x 8.38 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 07, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51966622990637,"sku":"9780310119418","price":23.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/3185\/6429\/files\/ul7rxcD6EM9780310119418.webp?v=1775534934","url":"https:\/\/ishookbooks.com\/products\/love-goes-first-reaching-others-in-an-age-of-anxiety-and-division-paperback","provider":"iShook Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
