One Blood / One Road

A man asked Jesus a question: "Who is my neighbor?" Jesus answered with a story. For centuries, readers have focused on the Samaritan. One Blood / One Road invites you to look deeper — at the road itself, and the hidden movements of the human heart that determine whether we cross it.

Drawing from the parable of the Good Samaritan, Ronald Canelli explores the forces that shape compassion long before we encounter someone in need: performance, vulnerability, avoidance, fear, justification, mercy, sacrifice, and belonging.

Inside you'll find:

• A fresh lens on one of Scripture's most familiar stories
• Honest examination of the barriers we build — and why
• A compelling invitation to move beyond neighbor-love as an ideal and embrace it as a way of life
• Practical insight for living with greater mercy, courage, and belonging

"The road Jesus described still runs through our world. The question is no longer, 'Who is my neighbor?' The question is: Who are we becoming when we meet them?"

Part biblical reflection, part spiritual formation, and part mirror held to the soul — this book will challenge you to cross the road toward another and participate in the transforming work of mercy.
