Next Door As It Is In Heaven discusses how we can join God in His work in our neighborhoods. Much of the book is spent explaining why we need to better get to know our (actual) neighbors and develop roots in our communities.
There are various personal anecdotes throughout the book and the last chapter, in particular, has many practical ideas on how to get started in this type of missional living. I liked how the authors explained that much of what God calls His people to is ordinary: growing and preparing food, building houses and living in them, marrying, raising children, etc.
At the end of each chapter is a section titled "Reflection and Preparation" with thought-provoking questions and actions to take to begin investing in your community. This section can certainly be used by individuals, but I think it will be especially useful for church groups looking to grow together in neighborliness.
