Synopsis

It’s time for a rethink.
 
For those of us seeking to live a life that is pleasing to God, it’s tempting to get caught up in the specifics―how to vote, which church to attend, how to do communion. And while none of these concerns are unimportant, they’re not nearly as important as the greatest command we have ever been given: Love God and love one another. That’s likeability.
 
Likeability isn’t easy, but in The Likeable Christian Justin Lathrop discusses ways to glorify God in our everyday lives by living more like Christ, actually doing what He did, and loving people the way He loved them. When we live like that, we can be free, because the rest is up to Him.
