John-Manuel Andriote is an award-winning author, journalist, speaker, and communication consultant. Since 1983, he has written about health medicine and popular culture for The Washington Post and other newspapers and magazines.

Andriote points out that even during times together, it is recommended that we maintain social distance. With regard to traditional American holidays, Thanksgiving and Christmas, the need for human connection and touch will go unmet.

Isolation and the loneliness which comes with that have been reinforced in 2020, unlike any other time.

Statistics show that, despite our connected world--and partly because of it--we are lonelier than ever. Social media tricks us into thinking that we are engaged in genuine friendships, except we never quite get beyond that feeling of being outside someone else's life and looking in every so often at what they choose to show the world. Instead of intimacy we get little more than what amounts to digital small talk. But there is a solution.

With plenty of good humor and practical advice, Jack Eason invites you to discover the benefits of doing life together with other brothers and sisters in Christ. Grounding his message in Scripture, Eason helps you

- learn the obstacles to real community

- reimagine what real friendship looks like

- discover a place of true belonging

- and more

If you're tired of feeling lonely, this encouraging and community-building book is just what you need.
