Learn the importance of story, discover the revealing nature of questions and explore the distance we have created between ourselves and those God has called us to love.Fringer and Lane incite the reader to action as they wrestle with what it means to see, love and be a neighbor. Whether one reads this alone or in community, the questions and experiential projects throughout each chapter will provide practical ways to serve.Through The Samaritan Project, the reader will re-imagine what it looks like to embody the compassion of a neighbor.
