The World is a Scary Place, Love Anyway


"Love Anyway." This two-word provocation - how far does it go? Does it apply when you're standing face to face with your enemy? Or after airstrikes lay you flat on your back? Even in a world filled with tyrants and terror, we should aim to not be ruled by fear. Punching fear in the face does not give birth to love. It's just another way of continuing to fight. From the front lines of Syria and Iraq, where he has lived for more than a decade, Jeremy Courtney brings stories of the love and hope that live on the other side of fear and death. The world is a scary place, how do we love anyway?
