Synopsis

How can we love our neighbors amid so much division and hurt?Loving your neighbor as yourself would be easy if your neighbors were all people you understood, people you agreed with, people like you. But what about playground bullies, colleagues, refugees, online adversaries? They're all our neighbors, and Jesus said to love them. Every one. But how?Lauren Casper believes the key is the lost art of empathy, stepping into other people’s shoes and asking what if?—what if it were my child? What if it were me? Casper helps us discover how toidentify our blind spots and tune our hearts to the stories around us;seek and extend forgiveness with grace and humility; andengage in diverse and meaningful relationships.Following these steps will enable us to connect in simple but life-altering ways, to respond to conflict with grace, bring about needed change, and shine God’s unconditional love into a dark world.

I fear I was mislead by the title. I expected to have solutions (or at least suggestions for solutions) to interpersonal relationships. Casper, instead, took me through a growing discontent for my own misfortune at attempting to be "woke" by having friends outside of my race. I mean, I have tried to......more

This book falls under the category of “everyone should read.” The cover is gorgeous but what grabbed my attention was the line at the bottom: Discover the hidden power of empathy.
