Note: Includes bibliographical references.Summary: "Jesus said his followers would be known for their love-not their loneliness. Yet over half of Americans and American churchgoers report lacking companionship, or that no one knows us well. We live disconnected lives, and our mental and spiritual health suffers as a result. Jeff Galley and Phil Smith have a remedy, based on their study of Scripture, hearing from the global church, and observing best practices in leading thousands of small groups. The New Testament's exhortations to love one another are not merely individual commands but instructions for communities, one to another, to each other, and each to all. Loving one another today encompasses depending on one another, committing to one another, talking with one another, knowing one another, and welcoming one another. Galley and Smith outline postures and practical shifts to combat the loneliness epidemic and also offer life design suggestions-small yet meaningful changes we can make to escape aloneness and create community. Discover how you and your church can break away from soul-killing isolation and be transformed into life-giving communities"-- Provided by publisher.
