Neighborliness Made Simple

The second greatest commandment lives next door.

Neighborliness Made Simple is a Bible-first guide to loving the people near you. Built on Jesus' words in Mark 12:31, "Love your neighbor as yourself," this book moves neighbor-love from a slogan to a street address — the actual people on your block, in your building, across the fence.

Across twelve Scripture-led chapters, you will walk the road to Jericho with the Good Samaritan, open your home in hospitality, bear your neighbor's burdens, practice the ministry of presence, make peace where there is strife, give generously without being asked, pray for your street, and forgive the neighbor who wronged you. You will see how the early church turned neighborhoods upside down, and how your own street can become a mission field.

Every chapter opens with Scripture and ends with one clear action step. A straight-answers appendix tackles difficult neighbors, boundaries, safety, and loving people who do not love you back.

If your faith has stayed inside your front door, this book walks it outside. Love the one near.
