This practical, down-to-earth book helps you reach out to your neighbours

Somewhere along the way we drifted apart from our next-door neighbours, and now we’re not sure we can get back together again. We lack a clear vision for showing and sharing Jesus’ love with them and how his countercultural values might transform our neighbourhoods, including us. But just imagine.

Imagine a neighbourhood where people are connected rather than isolated, where wrongs are righted, where mercy brings fences down, and where we become agents in seeing God’s kingdom come.

Believing the beatitudes are Jesus’ invitation into neighbourhood flourishing, Neighbourhoods Reimagined envisions how these upside-down values can turn our corners right-side-up.

Selected Commendations:

"Rather than guilting us into greater openness, Chris and Elizabeth paint a joyful picture for us that generates the desire, ideas, and energy we need to boldly open the doors of our homes..."

Nancy Guthrie, Bible teacher and author of Even Better than Eden

"Through engaging stories, witty illustrations, and down-to-earth analogies, the McKinney's have shown us a better path in how we relate to our neighbours.”

Michael Graham, Program Director for The Keller Centre for Cultural Apologetics

"The thoughtful reflection and discussion questions at the end of each chapter, provide an excellent way to put their insights into practice in community. I highly recommend Neighbourhoods Reimagined!"

Cas Monaco, PhD, FamilyLife VP Missiology & Gospel Engagement

"Chris and Elizabeth McKinney give us a practically helpful, and uniquely engaging vision of what the life of the Kingdom could look like here 'on earth as it is in Heaven.' Imagine what our neighborhoods would be like if we reimagined them from Jesus’ great sermon."

Jeremy Writebol, Author, Pastor, Executive Director of Gospel-Centered Discipleship

Encouraging and practical!

What an encouraging book that practically takes and applies Jesus' commands. I walked away from reading this book not feeling guilty to change, but feeling encourage and prompted to love others better because of what Jesus taught in the beatitudes. This book is so practical and will push you to love others around you as Christ has called us to, beginning with your neighbors!

(As an employee of 10ofThose, I received a copy of this book for free, but was not required to give a positive review.)

#Blessed

When we moved into our new neighborhood a couple years ago, I had idealistic visions of meeting my neighbors and sharing hot cocoa and cookies at Christmas time, board game nights, chats in the back yard under fairy lights. Things didn't go according to plan. But this book has put the wind back in my sails to try again. I recently heard someone say we shouldn't be looking to the upcoming election to transform our country; change will come when each of us loves our neighbors well. This is just the book to inspire us all with a vision for what is possible if we take Jesus at his word about what the blessed life really looks like. Chris and Elizabeth make loving our neighbors look like an exciting opportunity, without minimizing the cost.

Powerful and Practical

The McKinney’s wrote this book rooted in God’s truth and principles. They also made it practical for group discussion and processing with personal reflection questions and group discussion questions at the end of each chapter. It would be easy for anyone to gather a group together for 8-10 weeks and help others Reimagine their neighborhood-for the glory of God!

Character is the best outreach

We all want to change the world but what if that started with how we treat the neighbors in our backyard? This book was a great reminder and blueprint that demonstrated how the character qualities in the beatitudes make a lasting impact on others. It was accessible and chock full of stories and ideas on how to be a loving, faithful presence with those you are closest to.

Practical Beatitudes for the Second Greatest Commandment

Easy to read, practical to apply, this book offers great insight into each Beatitude and how it ought to spur us on to love our neighbor-yes the one next door. In this age of busy isolation, Neighborhoods Reimagined is a breath of fresh air to the soul. Chris and Elizabeth present ideas which they have applied in their own neighborhoods, but each chapter leaves room for the readers reflection and personalized practical application and prayer. Highly recommended!

Stephanie

Perfect for any Neighboring context

I love this book! It's practical, but not formulaic, therefore allowing freedom to think about neighboring no matter your context. The authors are also genuine and approachable, sharing stories from a place of both experience and honesty about the beauty in neighboring but also the hard parts. I live in a place where neighboring is difficult, and I feel inspired and have a renewed vision for neighboring!

Loving Your Neighbor

Neighborhoods Reimagined using the beatitudes has really challenged me about what God wants to do in my neighborhood. This is a book that I will review because it speaks to living life with the people around us the way God wants us to do it.

Linda

Practical, warmhearted neighboring

After reading and enjoying the McKinney's first book in neighboring, I hoped for a sequel I could use with my book club to take practical next steps... and this is just that! The questions at the end of the chapters will be perfect for my summer group Zooming in from around the world. This book makes me uncomfortable in all the best ways because it moves me toward action with doable ideas to engage diverse neighborhoods!

Love Those In Your Community?

The McKinneys reimagine neighboring with a clear picture from the beatitudes. Get this book to understand how you might live faithfully and love those in your community.

Neighborhoods reimagined indeed!

How many of go through the motions of life without ever knowing their neighbors? We’ve lived in a variety of neighborhoods and none were as rewarding as the ones where we’ve gotten to our neighbors. A great topic based on real needs… A rewarding book indeed.
