Loving Well in a Broken World: Discover the Hidden Power of Empathy Paperback – February 18, 2020
Purchase options and add-ons
How can we love our neighbors amid so much division and hurt?
Loving your neighbor as yourself would be easy if your neighbors were all people you understood, people you agreed with, people like you. But what about playground bullies, colleagues, refugees, online adversaries? They're all our neighbors, and Jesus said to love them. Every one. But how?
Lauren Casper believes the key is the lost art of empathy, stepping into other people’s shoes and asking what if?—what if it were my child? What if it were me? Casper helps us discover how to
- identify our blind spots and tune our hearts to the stories around us;
- seek and extend forgiveness with grace and humility; and
- engage in diverse and meaningful relationships.
Following these steps will enable us to connect in simple but life-altering ways, to respond to conflict with grace, bring about needed change, and shine God’s unconditional love into a dark world.

From the Publisher
Sarah Bessey | author of Miracles and Other Reasonable Things and Jesus Feminist
“With our world feeling more divided than ever, I truly believe this book holds a key for changing hearts, minds, and stories. Loving Well in a Broken World is a humble but challenging book with great possibility to heal. If you have felt despair or hopelessness, Lauren's book is a manifesto and guide for rising to the questions of our time with love and faith and hope.”
Shannan Martin | author of The Ministry of Ordinary Places and Falling Free
“Lauren Casper urges us not to settle for fracture when flourishing waits past the edges of our comfort. Bold, luminous, and pulsing with possibility, this book offers the permission we need to trade our fears for the promise of connection. I’m cheering wildly for this one.”
Hayley Morgan | author of Preach to Yourself and co-author of Wild and Free
“Casper leads us on a journey to discover what might happen when we start to look at things differently. We're all longing for a deep connection with others in these divided times, and through her captivating story Casper helps us realize this is possible and--as feels urgently important--she shows us how. What a gift!”
Sharon Hodde Miller | author of Nice: Why We Love to Be Liked And How God Calls Us to More
“It is the answer to our division, the secret to effective leadership, essential to loving our neighbors, and yet a shockingly overlooked practice. Empathy is one of the most underestimated tools in our spiritual tool belt, but through her story telling, self-reflection, and biblical insight, Lauren Casper makes the case for its transformative power. We are a people and a church in desperate need of empathy, which is why I truly believe each of us needs this book. I sure did.”
