The NAUA Book Club meets on the fourth Thursday of each month at 4:30 PM PT / 7:30 PM ET.

The book choice for July 23rd is “Love Your Neighbor: How Psychology Can Enliven Faith and Transform Community” by Katherine Douglass and BrittanyTausen.

The biblical call to “love your neighbor” echoes through centuries, yet remains one of Christianity’s most profound―and challenging―practices. In this innovative synthesis of practical theology and psychological science, professors Katherine M. Douglass and Brittany M. Tausen bring ancient wisdom from Scripture and cutting-edge research into a conversation that can revolutionize how you build meaningful connections.

Pulling from their respective areas of expertise, Douglass and Tausen illuminate the psychological pathways and spiritual practices that activate neighbor love. Through engaging stories and evidence-based insights, they reveal why human connection often falters―and provide actionable strategies to overcome these barriers.
