Activists, community organizers, and church groups bring good intentions to "loving our neighbors" - yet often those well-intentioned actions result in profound harm to neighbors and communities. What we need is a way to better understand our motives, resources, and communities -- as well as how our society operates -- so the impacts of our love better align with our intentions.

In this book, Joe Blosser weaves together resources in theology, community development, economics, anti-racism, and environmental sustainability to help leaders, organizations, students, churches, and neighborhoods embrace community solidarity for change.

Offering new practices of neighbor love, Blosser guides us to live in solidarity with others across differences, exercise sufficiency in our economic lives, and care for the sustainability of our planet and communities. When we engage in these practices, we foster the shared sense of common good, mutual responsibility, and interconnectedness that Jesus intended. In a world where "neighbor" has become as meaningless as a "friend" or "follower" online, this book reminds us that true neighbor love is the long-term work of forming and maintaining more just communities.
