Publisher's Summary

Popular blogger Shannan Martin offers Christians who are longing for a more meaningful life a simple starting point: learn what it is to love and be loved right where God has placed you.

For Christ-followers living in an increasingly complicated world, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed and unsure of how to live a life of intention and meaning. Where do we even begin?

Shannan Martin offers a surprisingly simple answer: uncover the hidden corners of our cities and neighborhoods and invest deeply in the lives of people around us. She walks us through her own discoveries about the vital importance of paying attention, as well as the hard but rewarding truth about showing up and committing for the long haul, despite the inevitable encounters with brokenness and uncertainty. With transparency, humor, heart-tugging storytelling, and more than a little personal confession, Martin shows us that no matter where we live or how much we have, as we learn what it is to be with people as Jesus was, we'll find our very lives. The details will look quiet and ordinary, and the call will both exhaust and exhilarate us. But it will be the most worth-it adventure we will ever take.

Simple, humble necessary, reminder

I loved this book. LOVED it. It spoke to me on a personal level, as someone who is currently, intentionally trying to love my literal neighbours and community, but unsure of how to do so with true Christ-likeness and humility. She reminds us to lose the Saviour complex, and just BE with my neighbour, love them, don’t have a hidden agenda...just love. She said it differently (better?) than other “Christian living” type books I’ve read.

I also enjoyed the narration. Sometimes the narrator’s voice can make or break an audio book. This narration was pleasant and enjoyable to listen to.

I recommend this book so highly! It has changed my life and how I see the precious people around me that God has created and loves so dearly.
