She believes Christians have the responsibility--and opportunity--to be countercultural by making friends across cultural, racial, socioeconomic, and religious lines that separate people from each other.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this book Robert tells the stories of Christians who, despite or even because of difficult circumstances, experienced friendship with people unlike themselves as \"God with us,\" as exile, as testimony, and as celebration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJesus was a \u003ci\u003efriend \u003c\/i\u003eto his disciples.
