No more. Neighborhoods have become the place where nobody knows your name. Into this neighborhood crisis the words of Jesus still ring true: Second only to the command to love God is the command to love your neighbor as yourself.
In Next Door as It Is in Heaven, Lance Ford and Brad Brisco offer first principles and best practices to make our neighborhoods into places where compassion and care are once again part of the culture, where good news is once again more than words, and where the love of God can be once again rooted and established.

When our understanding of mission is somewhere else, the great commission feels out of reach. Were left wondering where we have to go to make a difference in the world. We miss the fact that God sends us to the lives we already have, to the places and spaces we regularly inhabit. What could it look like to see our ordinary lives through the fresh lenses of kingdom possibilities? In this engaging and practical resource, Ford and Brisco train us to live and love like everyday missionaries in our here and now, that we might see Gods life and transformation next door as it is in heaven.

Lance and Brad are the real deal. They are true practitioners, and this book is filled with their valuable knowledge and firsthand experiences. Next Door as It Is in Heaven is a must-read for anyone who is serious about taking the Great Commandment literally.
DAVE RUNYON
Coauthor of The Art of Neighboring
With all of Jesus teaching on the kingdom, why does it seem so far away and so difficult to understand? Next Door as It Is in Heaven invites us to see the reality of the kingdom breaking out in our own neighborhoods and to follow Jesus invitation to join him there. It lays a very reasoned and biblical case for focusing relationally and locally on the people around us. Having challenged us to live as neighbors who reflect the life of Christ, the authors do not leave us there. Each chapter gives practical ideas on what we can do both individually and with others to bring the values of the kingdom to our neighborhoods. This is not a book of techniques but a call to the abundant, loving kingdom life that is lived with the people next door.
AL ENGLER
Mission director, NavNeighbors
In a culture where fear and scarcity have taken the day, this is a timely call for a reorientation toward generosity and abundance. Seasoned with real-time stories, principles, and biblical examples, this book is a both a starting block for missional observers and a map for those well on their way to lives of incarnation. Next Door as It Is in Heaven is a call to emerge from our safe cocoons and step into possibilities right under our noses.
ALAN BRIGGS
Church-planting catalyst and author of Staying Is the New Going
Modern suburban life can offer privacy and self-sufficiency, but at the cost of loneliness, isolation, and relational poverty. Next Door as It Is in Heaven is a warm invitation to create the margin and the practices that foster Gods dream for our local neighborhoods. Lance Ford and Brad Brisco bring a wealth of sociological analysis, biblical inspiration, community development principles, and stories of best practices to the question of how to foster good news in our own streets and local neighborhoods. They offer invaluable wisdom for any Christian or local church that is serious about neighborhood transformation rather than just tinkering with Sunday worship. Bring on a new era of living and serving locally!

From Brad
To my father Billie Brisco. Thanks for showing me what it really means to live for the sake of others.
From Lance
To the neighbors of my childhood on Cherokee Trail in Keller, Texas
It occurs to me that this is not a neighborhood; it is only a collection of unconnected individuals.
PHILIP LANGDON, A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE
SOMETIMES OFFHANDED COMMENTS come across as backhanded compliments. What do you do when your young neighbor cheerfully says, We love you guys! I always wanted to live next door to Fred and Ethel?
What! Frumpy old Fred and matronly Ethel Mertz from I Love Lucy, the television classic that revolved around the lives of two neighborhood couples? Seriously, we remind you of them?
