If
you are looking for a practical, Scriptural devotional for your
private study time, this is it. If you are looking for a practical,
Scriptural study for your small group, this is it. (This book is
geared more for women, and possibly couples.) The morning that I
finished this book, I knew that I would begin rereading it the
following morning. There was just too many great ideas to take in on
the first read through.
Kuykendall's
words are both encouraging and convicting. She describes
circumstances which I now see as loving my neighbor that I would not
have thought of in that way because they occur naturally without
great effort or sacrifice. She also describes circumstances that
challenge and motivate me to be more intentional. While Kuykendall's
life as a young mother in an urban neighborhood is much different
from mine as a retired grandmother in a small town, her content
relates well in both situations, and is easily generalized to many
more.
I
am grateful to have received a copy of Loving My Actual
Neighbor from Baker Books via
NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion. I was under no
obligation to provide a positive review and received no monetary
compensation.
