For all who are displaced. For all who are weary of the way things are. For all who long for a more beautiful world.

Preemptive Love founder Jeremy Courtney has seen the very worst of war. Hes risked his life saving lives on the front lines. Hes come face to face with ISIS, been targeted by death threats, and narrowly escaped airstrikes.

Through it all, the most powerful thing hes learned is this: were not just at war with each other. Were at war with ourselves. But the way things are is not the way they have to be. There is a more beautiful world. To find it, we have to we confront our fear--and end war where it starts: in our own heads and hearts.

With stories of people who have lived through war and terrorism, Love Anyway will inspire you to confront your deepest fears and respond to our scary world with the kind of love that seems a little crazy. Because when we do, we become agents of hope who unmake violence and unfurl the more beautiful world our hearts know is possible.

Love Anyway is the story of Jeremys incredible journey--and an invitation to discover the more beautiful world on the front lines where you live.

I sat down to skim Love Anyway because I believe in Jeremy and his work Three - photo 1

I sat down to skim Love Anyway because I believe in Jeremy and his work. Three hours later, Id read every single word, perched on the edge of my seat. Inside these pages, youll find enough narrative tension to keep you turning the pages as fast as you can. You will also find hope and love, humility and courage. This is truly, in every sense, the better way. Strangely, what Jeremy learned in Turkey and Iraq and Fallujah applies to those of us who live in Charlotte and New Jersey and Sacramento. There is indeed a More Beautiful World, and every one of us is invited into it.

JEN HATMAKER, NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF OF MESS AND MOXIE!

If you dont want to grow or change, if you like the world the way it is, if you want to remain complacent and unchallenged, dont read this book. This book is deeply subversive in the best possible ways, exposing the redemptive genius of Love and the unstoppable potency of Hope.

WM. PAUL YOUNG, AUTHOR OF THE SHACK

I was transfixed by Jeremys writinga perfect marriage of love and urgency. You will be taken on a journey that leaves you no choice but to respond in kind. This book, this way of life, is a game changer.

PROPAGANDA, HIP-HOP AND SPOKEN WORD ARTIST

In his book Love Anyway, Jeremy tells stories that are often found only in the movies but have happened around him or to him in real life. Stories that have brought me to tears, made me stop what Im doing to embrace my children, and haunted me at night. Stories that may just cause me to lose hope in humanity, in God, altogether. But instead, as we view the hopeless, terrifying brokenness happening in this world, Jeremy teaches us what it means to love anyway. It is my hope that every human reads and learns from this book.

HEATHER AVIS, BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE LUCKY FEW

In an increasingly divided world, a new insurgence is erupting. Its creating a movement of people who will not accept that darkness is our future. Jeremy Courtney is on the front line of this movement and in this book shows us what it means to not only believe in a better tomorrow but to actually build it.

DONALD MILLER, AUTHOR OF BLUE LIKE JAZZ

For years Ive watched as Jeremy Courtney lives in such a way that models loveto his neighbors, to the others, to his family and friends, to the people who dont know him and dont try to understand. This book puts into words what Jeremys life has said all alonglove anyway.

ANNIE F. DOWNS, BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF 100 DAYS TO BRAVE AND HOST OF THE THAT SOUNDS FUN PODCAST

This book is heartbreaking and hopeful, but love anyway isnt just a phrase to make us feel good; its bravery, sacrifice, and joy beyond comprehension. I have never wanted to be a part of something more.

LAUREN HOLIDAY, TWO-TIME OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST AND FIFA WOMENS WORLD CUP SOCCER CHAMPION

Love Anyway is raw, honest, wrenching, and beautiful. Jeremy lays it all out there with a story that will rip your heart out, inspire you, and trouble you. He reminds us that love heals the world, but despite our most sincere efforts, its not always easy to know what love requires. Dostoevsky said, Love in action is a harsh and dreadful thing compared to love in dreams. This book is a call and an invitation to put everything on the line for that harsh and dreadful love, even our very lives.

SHANE CLAIBORNE, ACTIVIST AND AUTHOR OF IRRESISTIBLE REVOLUTION AND BEATING GUNS

Jeremy Courtney understands the moving truth that hate breeds violence, and he acts on that truth in ceaselessly bold preemptive love for the enemy. I strongly endorse his actual life of peacemaking. We Koreans urgently need a peacemaker like Mr. Courtneytruly shalom incarnatetoday.

DR. HAN WAN-SANG, FORMER DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER OF SOUTH KOREA, FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE KOREAN RED CROSS SOCIETY

What an extraordinary book, written by an extraordinary person. Ive long admired Jeremy and Jessica and their incredible team, and this beautifully written book inspired and challenged me. It reignited my heart and my spiritual imagination in so many ways. This is a must-read.

SHAUNA NIEQUIST, NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR

Jeremy describes a world where all people can exist, be recognized, and be protected. All are equal, worthy, and important. Through his life in Iraq, he sees the Iraq I come from and believe in. A place that has been through dictatorships and invasions but still exists and is full of people who create. I hope Iraqis read this book to believe in Iraq the way Jeremy and others in the book believe in it, and internationals should read the book to see that Iraq is so much more than the troubling news media outlets portray.

T his book wouldnt exist without years of drinks and dreams with my editors, Sandy Vander Zicht and Carolyn McCready, and my publisher, David Morris, before I ever started writing. Thank you for believing in me. And thank you, Christine Anderson and Kim Tanner, for focusing my ego, and the story, on the things that matter most. Chris Ferebee, thank you for being my agent and my friend. You took a risk. And your yes has changed more lives than we could possibly know.

The entire team of Preemptive Love staff, donors, volunteers, and partners made the stories in this book possible. Thank you. There have been countless chances to give up. But you love anyway. It is an honor to walk this road with you.

No one has made a greater sacrifice to see the vision and values of Love Anyway come to life than my best friend, my business partner, and the love of my life, Jessica. To say none of this would be possible without you is too small. I would not be possible without you. No one will ever know the price youve paid, but I know. Thank you.
