Publisher's Description
Christians today are very discriminating in who they consider to be a "neighbor" they should love, and what that love should look like. Jesus commanded his followers to love their neighbors (and enemies) as they love themselves. Believers are commanded to put themselves in their neighbors' shoes, and love them accordingly. This type of love is an empathetic love; it answers the question, "What would I need if I were in this person's situation?" My Neighbor's Shoes: Following Jesus in Empathy Toward Others encourages Christ-followers to live a life of empathy, outlining the life and teachings of Jesus as the model for this life-changing love.

“We don’t like to admit it, but one of the things leading to so many people flocking away from the church is how Christians treat each other and those who don’t hold to our beliefs. In My Neighbor’s Shoes, Becki Rogers shows us not only why caring for others matters, but what that looks like and how Jesus modeled it for us. I truly believe empathy is a superpower in today’s culture, and this book does an incredible job helping us develop that superpower so we can truly love those around us.”
