We become who God created us to be through the relationships He created us to enjoy.
What if we could end the loneliness problem plaguing our culture and recover the life of belonging we were designed for?

This book is a timely and powerful reminder that we are not only created for connection but need it in order to flourish. The stories beautifully illustrate how meeting practical needs can also awaken and satisfy our deeper longing to belong, to be seen, and to walk together through life.
I couldn’t put this book down. In a world where we scroll past one another more than we sit beside each other, The Way Back to One Another feels like both a diagnosis and a cure. Through stories that span continents and faith communities, this book reminds us of what we’ve forgotten: that the gospel is not just personal; it’s profoundly communal.
Social media offers ample opportunities for connectivity, and yet the sense of loneliness among people has increased. The Way Back to One Another offers insights into this puzzling trend and provides practical tips and biblical knowledge to address the epidemic of loneliness.
God calls and empowers his people to a one-another life of love and fellowship, but we are too often captured by the same polarizations that permeate our world. I am thankful that Jeff Galley and Phil Smith have given us The Way Back to One Another. This practical resource, shows us the way to beautiful community for the glory of God.
After living in East Africa for more than a decade, I’ve seen what it looks like when community is a way of life. In a cultural moment when isolation, anxiety, and disconnection are rising at an alarming rate, Jeff Galley and Phil Smith offer us a timely and necessary reminder. This book is a clarion call for a return to the shared life we were made for.
