What does it look like to love someone you disagree with? Fighting, hatred, dissensionthese things seem common in the wider Christian community today. Politics, theology, and even personal preference create seemingly insurmountable rifts. Its hard not to see ourselves as at war with each other.

Were not doomed to be stuck here, though. There is a twofold path out of this destructive war, out of seeing our brothers and sisters as enemiesand into a spacious place of loving each other even as we disagree.

In Loving Disagreement, Kathy Khang and Matt Mikalatos bring unique insight into how the fruit of the Spirit informs our ability to engage in profound difference and conflict with love. As followers of Jesus are planted in the Holy Spirit, the Spirit grows and bears good things in our livesand relationships and communities are changed.

• Each chapter features author conversations about the communal and cultural implications of the fruit of the Spirit.
• Book includes a glossary of social and cultural terms.

I encourage everyone to pick up several copies of this book, hand them to your friends (and frenemies), and let the conversations begin. Jos HUMPHREYS III, author of Seeing Jesus in East Harlem and coauthor of Ecosystems of Jubilee
