Synopsis

Seeing rightly, says Mark Labberton, is the beginning of how our hearts are changed. Through careful self-examination in the Spirit, we begin to bear the fruit of love toward others. Here is a chance to reflect on why our ordinary hearts can be complacent about the evils in the world and how we can begin to see the world like Jesus.

Actually DNF because I missed the last week of book club. I see what he was going for. I think I understand his target audience. But, I wasn’t it. TLDR: privilege is real. Systemic injustice needs to be addressed. Love people like Jesus would love people.......more

This book was just okay. It got repetitive and preachy towards the end without a lot of concrete ideas for ways to make a change. Not my favorite but a few good stories for sure......more
