What does it mean to love your neighbor in today's fraught, divided world?

Join Dr. Emily Smith, global health expert and creator of the popular Facebook page Friendly Neighbor Epidemiologist, as she dives into what loving your neighbor--as illustrated in the biblical parable of the Good Samaritan--truly means. Combining Dr. Smith's expertise as a scientist with her deep Christian faith while drawing from her journey from small-town Texas to a prestigious university, The Science of the Good Samaritan shares fascinating stories from Dr. Smith's life and the lives of other inspiring people around the world to show us how to:

• Find shared values with people from different backgrounds, faiths, and cultures than our own
• Reach outside our immediate circles to bring in those on the margins
• Redefine our concept of "neighbor" and love our neighbors in more practical and global ways
• Bridge the gaps of society's disparities and inequities

You can help reimagine and create a better world--and it all starts with authentically loving your neighbor.

Learned so much

This book is very readable/listenable. I loved hearing her early story, her journey into science, Christianity and science. Amazing!

A Book The World Needs To Hear

What an inspirational read! As a person not coming from religion, I still found it to be an incredible read.

Heartfelt

I like the story because it was if I was just having some coffee with Dr. Smith. I like the general concept of this book of being a good neighbor and a good Samaritan feel like if more people were like this lotta the world problems would be solved. 

Be kind!

Excellent book addressing what it means to be a servant to everyone - especially the marginalized.

Samaritan learning

This gave me a greater desire to see the world as it is and do be a Samaritan in my corner of the world
