You don't have to be some sort of "super saint" to love your enemies. The Real Deal on How to Love Your Enemy gives practical advice from the Bible and real-life experience in the form of down-to-earth teaching that anyone can understand and implement. You can take small steps outlined in this short e-book that God can use to change your heart, and with His help, really love your enemy the way Jesus wants us to.
This includes the hard things like loving our enemies. Believe me, I understand how hard that can be sometimes. But I also know the healing that can happen in the heart of someone who will intentionally work to love their enemies.
And it's not just about healing our own hearts. It's about displaying the Kingdom of God that Jesus proclaimed. That weird, upside-down, and backward Kingdom that goes against the values of the world and makes people stand up and take notice of what God is doing in the world today.
So take the teachings of Scripture to heart through what I share in this short book, and watch what God can do IN you and THROUGH you as God helps you learn to love your enemies.

"Love Your Enemy" isn’t your typical Christian fluff piece. It’s a down-to-earth, straight-talking guide for anyone who’s ever wrestled with Jesus’ most radical command: “Love your enemies.” Author and pastor Brian La Croix cuts through the noise and offers four clear, biblical, and practical ways to actually live this out—especially when everything in you wants to do the opposite. With humor, honesty, and a healthy dose of Scripture, this short read helps you deal with real enemies, not just ideological opponents, and it’s written for people who’ve been hurt, frustrated, or flat-out exhausted by conflict. It’s not complicated—but it is life-changing. Read it if you're ready to stop stewing and start obeying Jesus, even when it's hard. - Josh Latterell, Jesus Geek (and co-host of the "Living Beyond Your Memes" podcast
I Loved the book. Such a great, easy read. So helpful and a blessing on how to deal with our enemies. Well written. Lonnie N
I’ve heard Brian preach many times and have read enough of his work to know that I want to hear what he has to say on this topic. The timing is extra interesting not just because of our current political climate, but because I’ve been watching him live out the principles he preaches in real time. Nobody needs to hear another disconnected preacher telling us how to handle a situation they have never endured; I prefer to hear from people who are living a real life with real demands and obeying God in real life. - Dani C
