A New Way to Love Your Neighbor: Be Curious, Free, and Brave-How to Transform your Relationship with God and Others

by Jada Edwards

Overview

Do you consider yourself to be a loving person? Do you ever wonder how to show a more loving version of yourself toward your family, friends, co-workers, and even strangers? It may sound simple, but loving others well is layered and comes with many challenges. It’s more than emotion or affection. It’s more than having things in common. Love is a divinely empowered choice to act in a favorable way toward another.

Christians know they’re supposed to love God and their neighbors, but why is this so hard to do consistently, and what does this look like in everyday life? How does this kind of love show up? First, it has to be understood from God’s perspective, not our culture’s. Then we have to act on what we know to be true regardless of how we feel about it.
This book isn’t about making friends, acts of kindness, romance, or marital love. It’s about redefining love from God’s perspective and discovering its divine power.
In her much-anticipated debut book, Bible teacher Jada Edwards invites you on a journey to transform your relationship with God and people (even before you like them). We often underestimate God’s idea of love, but with the right definition and intentional action, everything can change—in any relationship. In this book, you’ll discover: 

• Four limits holding you back from fully experiencing God’s love 
• How to shift from earthly definitions of love to the divine definition
• How to be curious, free, brave, resilient, and real in all your relationships

“I have had the joy of knowing Jada Edwards for four decades, and I can say with confidence that she lives what she teaches. Her messages, whether spoken or written, carry the weight of tested, prayerful experience. And her book A New Way to Love Your Neighbor is no different. It is filled with the maturity and wisdom that this sacred topic requires. Each chapter will remind you of the holy calling that is tethered to the interpersonal relationships the Lord has entrusted to you, and then it will refocus you back on the fundamental virtues that cultivate healthy and fulfilling relational dynamics. In an era when vitriol has replaced old-school kindness and being ‘right’ has become more important than offering respect, Jada’s words will be a compass pointing us all back home—to one another. To love. Read this with a pen in your hand and an openness in your heart. You will be challenged, encouraged and transformed.”
