In B.L.E.S.S: 5 Everyday Ways to Love Your Neighbor and Change the World, Jon and Dave provide a step-by-step guide encouraging Christians to love others, share the good news of the Gospel, and change the world. It all starts with one easy saying: B.L.E.S.S.

• The impact prayer has on both believers and non-believers • How to tangibly love others as Christ loved in the New Testament
