Here is a memoir written for our increasingly impersonal, lonely, and distrustful age. Author Ken Lottis demonstrates that it is possible to develop strong, intimate, long-term friendships. One Another-written with humor, spiritual insight, and transparency-will inspire readers to live for what matters most: the people in our lives. In the mid-1960s, Ken and his college friend, Jim Petersen, along with their wives and small children, embarked on a surprising Brazilian adventure. Moving from the United States to Brazil, they settled in the southern city of Curitiba during an era of deep political and social turmoil. Overcoming false suspicions that they were CIA agents, Ken and Jim began to develop friendships with university students. They presented the students with an authentic opportunity to learn more about Jesus through the Scriptures-without any connection to traditional religious practices or structures. This freedom gave their Brazilian friends the space to think about life's biggest questions and to strengthen friendships within the context of normal Brazilian routines. Gradually, these relationships extended organically to include classmates, hometown sweethearts, and relatives. What emerged-and continues today-is a simple but powerful expression of friendship and faith. Ken and Jim learned that the New Testament model for church is entirely relational. The Brazilians taught them that our deepest human needs are best served when we love one another and live for God in daily life. One Another will fill your mind with ideas for how to invest in your relationships and deepen your faith in God without religious structures.

In the mid-1960s, Ken Lottis and Jim Petersen settled in the Brazilian university city of Curitiba to launch a ministry among students. Facing overwhelming obstacles but emboldened by biblical promises, they prayed that God would open doors of friendship. Ken and Jim mapped out new paths for nonreligious people to find their way into the kingdom of God. The lessons they learned proved cross-culturally transferable around the world. Anyone interested in reaching a city with the gospel can benefit from these remarkable stories and lessons.
