The Art of Neighboring

The Art of Neighboring:
Building Genuine Relationships Right Outside Your Door
By Jay Pathak and Dave Runyon (Baker)
A 2013 Outreach Resource of the Year

“After reading this book, it dawned on me that neighboring is actually the lowest common denominator when it comes to missional living, but so very few Christians take the words of Jesus seriously. This book would immediately change everything if people took it to heart and to their life. Much of the missional conversation has been filled with theories and critiques of what is wrong with the church. At some point, we need to begin to provide practical tools that help the average person to engage the people that God has placed around them. This book will help you and your church take this foundational step.” —Hugh Halter, from the March/April 2013 issue of Outreach magazine

How Does Understanding God’s Happiness Change Lives?

As much as I believe in the holiness of God, I also believe in emphasizing God’s happiness as a legitimate and effective way to share the gospel with unbelievers or to help Christians regain a foothold in their faith.

You Can’t (and Shouldn’t) Please Everyone

Learning to balance the natural tension of loving and caring for people, but not allowing someone to leverage their personal agenda or hijack the vision of your church is part of the leader’s responsibility.
