Description
¿Y si, en lugar de desprecio, la confianza genera amor? Pareciera ser que mientras más nos conocemos, más grande es la desilusión. Cuando las heridas de nuestros amigos, familia, vecinos quedan expuestas, nos sentimos tentados a dar la espalda y huir. Pero existe otra forma. El pastor y narrador Rich Perez proyecta la visión de lo que podría parecer buscar el amor, el amor expresado con los ojos bien abiertos, en el contexto del mundo real. Porque el amor no es principalmente una emoción o un sentimiento, Perez desafía a los lectores a través de una combinación de memorias y enseñanzas para tomar un camino diferente del que nos lleva la cultura en la que vivimos. Con el sabor de Washington Heights, Nueva York, los lectores se transportarán al vecindario de Rich en un viaje para aprender a volver a amar. What if, instead of contempt, familiarity bred love? It seems as if the more we get to know one another, the more we are disappointed. When the scars of our friends, family, and neighbors are exposed, we are tempted to turn and run. But there is another way. Pastor and storyteller Rich Perez casts vision for what it might look like to pursue love--love expressed with eyes wide open--in the context of the real world. Because love is not primarily a feeling, an emotion, or a sentiment, Perez challenges readers through a combination of memoir and teaching to take a different path than the momentum that carries the culture we live in. With the flavor of Washington Heights, New York, readers will be transported into Perez's neighborhood on a journey to learn how to love again.
