The Best Idea in the World: How Putting Relationships First Transforms Everything

One idea can change everything. Just as one new lens can make the whole world look different. In this compelling and liberating book, Mark Greene explores the dynamic difference that a fresh look at Jesus’ familiar instruction can make to almost any decision we make—in any area of life —from buying a microwave to choosing a job, from church to chat-rooms, from parenting to politics, from where we put the TV to where we live. Full of humour, insight, down-to-earth stories and up-to-date research, Mark explores how putting relationships first in our thinking and living is not only a liberating basis for our personal lives but a robust and dynamic foundation for our society and our global community.
