In the past, she would have looked first for friends at her new job or her new church. This time, though, she decided to look for friends among the strangers who shared her apartment building--her actual neighbors in her new \"vertical neighborhood.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this charming and relatable memoir, MacGibbon tells the story of the community that took shape as neighbors said yes to weekly dinners and a writing group, Christmas morning brunch and even a Bible study. It's a story of the simple, everyday risk of reaching out with love to those around us, and of the beauty and messiness of real human relationships. It's a story of the risks--and rewards--of taking Jesus at his word.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lynda Macgibbon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0830847405\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780830847402\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e IVP\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/30\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/25\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/26\/2021","brand":"Lynda Macgibbon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44043711348991,"sku":"9780830847402","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_217808bb-03ba-4d08-aa1f-7706a05f1f7e.jpg?v=1684968714","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/my-vertical-neighborhood-lynda-macgibbon-9780830847402","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
