Why Faith-Based Books Matter — Especially Today

In a world that feels fast and sometimes divided, faith-based books offer something different. They slow us down. They give us a chance to think about what really matters: love, kindness, family, and doing the right thing, even when it’s hard.

Books built on faith remind us of our values. They encourage us to show compassion, forgive others, and live with purpose. Whether you’re reading alone, with your kids, or in a group, these stories can be powerful tools for personal growth and family connection.

One of the beautiful things about faith-based books is how they can start important conversations. A simple story can lead to deep talks about God, about helping others, or about how to treat people with respect and love. These books help us learn about faith and actually live it.

That’s exactly what A Father’s Guide to Loving Your Neighbor as Yourself does. This inspiring book by Stan Rawls tells the story of Kelly, a father who learns the importance of reaching out to those who are often overlooked. Through his friendships with young people from a local group home, Kelly learns powerful lessons about love, empathy, and what it really means to be a good neighbor.

Stan Rawls, author of A Father’s Guide to Loving Your Neighbor as Yourself, believes that faith should be something we live, not just something we talk about.

My hope is that parents will read it with their children and use it as a starting point to talk about what it means to live out our faith in real, tangible ways,” says Stan.

The book tells a heartfelt story that shows how kindness and understanding can grow strong friendships. It reminds readers that loving others, especially those who might feel left out or forgotten, is one of the best ways to live like Jesus.

When we treat our neighbors with the same care we hope to receive, something beautiful happens. We begin to see the world through a lens of grace. We slow down, we listen more, and we start to notice those around us in a new way.
