Not Like Me: Learning to Love, Serve, and Influence Our Divided World

We live in a diverse world filled with unprecedented opportunity. Now more than ever is the time for us to become agents of change, creating genuine unity among people from a variety of backgrounds and worldviews. Not Like Me urges readers - women and men, democrats and republicans, church leader and lay people from every background - to create a new future that connects God's heart by removing the religious baggage of Christianity to discover the world Jesus intended. Through stories and insights gleaned from Eric's own personal experiences and failures, the experiences of others, and the life and teachings of Jesus, readers will discover how to move beyond ethnic, racial, cultural, and ideological barriers toward genuine friendship with others that can lead to personal and community transformation.
