LOVE GOES FIRST
Reaching Others in an Age of Anxiety and Division
In a world marked by fear, division, and mistrust, the Church is called to go first in love—because loving our neighbors isn’t optional, it’s commanded by Jesus. Love Goes First by Andrew Forrest offers a simple, powerful framework to risk connection with others, even when it’s uncomfortable or misunderstood. Readers will walk away inspired to build relationships of respect and transformed by a deeper understanding of God’s redeeming love for the world.
