Loving My Actual Neighbor

Christian Living

“Let’s be honest. L-O-V-E is a four-letter, power-packed word that can be so hard to show to people we live with, much less someone we barely know! Alexandra Kuykendall reminds us of the importance of drawing close to people instead of pulling away, to choose love especially when we don’t feel like it. And most of all she reminds us that sometimes we need to simply see past our assumptions and fears, get up, knock on a neighbor’s door, and just say hello!”

You Were Made for This Moment

Christian Living

“This book hit me to the core as a Christian and a Black woman. I’ve read the book of Esther so many times, I’ve even had people use Esther 4:14 to describe my career, but Max took us on a journey that only he could by providing a fresh new lens to this ancient story. Max weaves in and out of the story of Esther with modern-day stories that remind the reader of God’s presence when we feel forgotten; our habit of focusing on what we can lose instead of what we can gain by standing up for what is right; and the importance of not running away from ‘Mordecai moments.’ Thank you, Max!”
