The Way Of Belonging

You are welcome.

The loneliness epidemic is real. Despite how utterly connected we are via text, chat, and notifications, we all feel isolation in one way or another. We all want someone else to really see us and really choose us, and we want a place to finally fit in. But what if that's not the answer?

From her community-building background, Sarah E. Westfall takes our longing to be embraced and turns it into a reality of embracing those around us. After years contemplating how she fit in, she realized "belonging is not something to attain, but someone to become." In this book, she teaches a posture of hospitality in the spirit of the Father, who extends his arms to those returning and those who don't yet know they've resisted his love.

Whether you understand well the perspective of the outsider in need of acceptance or you're eager to include, the barriers to belonging can come down as Sarah gently guides us toward deep connection—a connection where our humanity draws us closer to people and envelops us in the heart of God. Embark with Sarah on this challenge that will awaken your empathy and affirm you with the truth of these words: "You are welcome."

Includes a three-week group guide.
