My Neighbor's Shoes - Becki Rogers - Bog

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.
