About

How to love fearlessly--even when we disagree

In an age when we are as connected as we are contentious, an astounding number of religious, cultural, and political polarities do more to divide us than unite us. In fact, Christians are getting the reputation of being "against" just about everything. But is this the best way to bear witness to the love of God before an unbelieving world? Or does it simply serve to push others further and further away from the life-giving power of Jesus?

Perhaps it is time to trade condemnation for compassion.

Story-driven and biblically based, No Fear in Love challenges us to love others the way God loves us--unconditionally, brokenness and all--and to trust that God is truly in control.

"The pathway of authentic love has led Andy past fear and into that wonderful, adventurous place where 'the other' becomes a friend. Like Andy, I'm learning that's often where Jesus does his best work in and through us."--Lynne Hybels, advocate for global engagement, Willow Creek Community Church

"Braner nails it with No Fear in Love. No simple platitudes here; just real-life stories soaked in truth that will set you free."

Carl Medearis, author of Adventures in Saying Yes: A Journey from Fear to Faith

"Because we're both passionate about Jesus and about the Middle East, Andy Braner and I frequently cross paths. I've always resonated with Andy's spirit; after reading No Fear in Love, I understand why. The pathway of authentic love has led Andy past fear and into that wonderful, adventurous place where 'the other' becomes a friend. Like Andy, I'm learning that's often where Jesus does his best work in and through us."

Lynne Hybels, advocate for global engagement, Willow Creek Community Church

"This is a critical and timely book that demands serious attention and reflection. Not only is our society tearing at its very fabric, but our faith has become caught up in that, and it's become a kind of 'nationalistic religious response' to the world versus a Jesus-life in the world. There isn't a subject more important yet more avoided than how we relate to others in the public square. It's amazing how we can categorize people as 'religious,' thereby invalidating the very thing Jesus told us to be: salt and light. Andy deals with this issue in a thoughtful, loving, and proactive way. He isn't merely writing ideas; he's sharing how he's lived out those ideas. When I read things like this from the emerging generation, I get really excited. Excellent read--thought provoking and challenging, with practical stories of engaging with others."

Bob Roberts Jr., author of Bold as Love and senior pastor of Northwood Church
