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. We can overcome the negative Christian stereotype. We can be an example of loving and diverse community. We can bring healing and unity. We can reach those too often overlooked, ignored, or misunderstood. Not Like Me urges readers - women and men, democrats and republicans, church leaders 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. In this angry world, people of faith can become known by our love. 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.
