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

by Jada Edwards

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   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

Listened to this on audiobook and couldn’t stop. Everyone needs to read and/or listen to this I wish I had the physical copy to highlight it all. It’s not just about forgiveness it’s deeply convicting to the emotional ties we put into relationships causing severing where there doesn’t need to be. The theme in this is LOVE and the love of Christ we all need to display as Christian’s.
The question I will ask myself daily now after reading this book when I start to put too much pressure on a relationship is “where’s my relationship with Christ?” A simple question can change the outlook on your earthly relationships!

Every chapter in this book requires growth. I love how common practices are challenged and new perspectives are shared to help with processing the information experienced. I found myself really marinating after each chapter so that I could identify ways to incorporate what I learned. Highly recommend reading this book

This was a transformational read that pushed me to look at the ways I show up in relationships, the way I love others and myself, my resentments and the ways I hold back from loving fully, and my relationship with my Higher Power. Jada references Biblical passages to illustrate how we are called to love and to be in relationship with others. In a society where boundaries are encouraged as a mental health strategy, Jada challenged the concepts of ghosting and cutting people totally out of our lives. Jada shifted my perspective of what fully loving myself and others can look like, if I take a different approach.

A great book about how to really love your neighbor well, which starts first with loving God with your whole heart. Practical and challenging all at the same time.
