There was a time when neighbors knew each other's names, when small children and the old and infirm alike had more than their families looking out for them. There was a time when our neighborhoods were our closest communities.No more. Neighborhoods have become the place where nobody knows your name. Into this neighborhood crisis the words of Jesus still ring true: Second only to the command to love God is the command to "love your neighbor as yourself."In Next Door as It Is in Heaven,Lance Ford and Brad Brisco offer first principles and best practices to make our neighborhoods into places where compassion and care are once again part of the culture, where good news is once again more than words, and where the love of God can be once again rooted and established.

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.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. (
