    About this audiobook

    How can Christians today interact with those around them in a way that shows respect to those whose beliefs are radically different but that also remains faithful to the gospel? Join bestselling author Timothy Keller and legal scholar John Inazu as they bring together illuminating stories to answer this vital question.

    In Uncommon Ground, Keller and Inazu bring together a thrilling range of artists, thinkers, and leaders to provide a guide to living faithfully in a divided world, including:

    • Lecrae, a recording artist, songwriter, and record producer
    • Claude Richard Alexander Jr., senior pastor of The Park Church in Charlotte, North Carolina
    • Rudy Carrasco, a program officer for the Murdock Charitable Trust
    • Sara Groves, a singer and songwriter
    • Shirley V. Hoogstra, president of the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities
    • Kristen Deede Johnson, a professor of theology and Christian formation at Western Theological Seminary
    • Warren Kinghorn, a professor of psychiatry and theology at Duke University
    • Tom Lin, president of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship
    • Trillia Newbell, director of community outreach for the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention
    • Tish Harrison Warren, an Anglican priest at the Church of the Ascension in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

    With varied and enlightening approaches to reaching faithfully across deep and often painful differences, Uncommon Ground shows us how to live with confidence, joy, and hope in a complex and fragmented age.

    Praise for Uncommon Ground:

    "For anyone struggling to engage well with others in an era of toxic conflict, this book provides a framework, steeped in humility, that is not only insightful but is readily actionable. I'm grateful for the vulnerability and wisdom offered by each of the twelve leaders who contributed to this book. The task of learning to love well--neighbors and enemies alike--is long and urgent, and it can be costly. And yet, as this book shows us because it is the work of Jesus, we can pursue this love with great hope."

    --Gary A. Haugen, founder and CEO, International Justice Mission

      Good and timely for 2020. I enjoyed Lacrae’s chapter the most.

      I love LaCrae’s section. He speaks exactly what i feel is happening in the culture. I love that he points to the Real Answer; Jesus. Great book.

      Precious stories of honest struggles to love God and love neighbors who seem very different from themselves
    • 5/5
      Diverse voices share their experiences of how they must struggle and work to live out their Christian faith in a variety of arenas while working to reach out to others in love without compromising their faith. An excellent collection of wisdom from these people about being the people God has called us to be in today's world.
    • 4/5
      Uncommon Ground is a collection of biographical essays in which ten people tell their stories and align those stories with the theme of how to live among others with whom they don't agree or who believe differently than they do. I appreciated being able to learn from voices I wouldn't ordinarily be invited to hear from and was encouraged by the many ways these Christians are learning how to live out their faith in the world. But there is no single path. If you are looking for an instruction manual, this is not the book for you. But if you want to hear about faithful people still figuring out what faithfulness looks like on the ground, I highly recommend it.I received a free ARC of this book from NetGalley and have reviewed it willingly.
