I’D LIKE YOU MORE IF YOU WERE MORE LIKE ME: GETTING REAL ABOUT GETTING CLOSE
Book ID/图书代码： 13341024C00002
English Summary/英文概要： I’d Like You More If You Were More like Me takes on one of life’s most important questions: How can I get closer to God and other people?
We were created for deep connections. When people have deep connections, says John Ortberg, they win in life. When they don’t have deep connections, they cannot win in life. I’d Like You More if You Were More like Me offers help in overcoming one of the biggest obstacles to making deep connections: the fact that we’re so different. Different from God and different from each other.
The good news is that connectedness is not based on similarity, but on shared experiences. When one person invites another to share an experience, they’re connected. It can be sharing a beautiful sunset or a meal, having a great conversation over cup of coffee, going for walk, or even teasing somebody. And when we share those same experiences with God, we get closer to him, too. God wants to connect with us―so much that he sent his son to live as a human being. God took on flesh and shared every human experience. So we don’t have to wonder what a close relationship with God looks like anymore.
An intimate relationship with God and other people doesn’t have to be a cliché, it can be a daily way of life.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《如果你更像我，我会更喜欢你》探讨了人生中最重要的问题之一：我怎样才能更接近上帝和其他人？
人类是为建立深厚有意义的人际关系而生的。约翰·奥特伯格说，当人们拥有深厚的关系时，他们就会成为生命的胜利者。当他们没有深厚的关系时，他们就无法在生命中获胜。《如果你更像我，我会更喜欢你》这本书有助于克服建立深厚联系的最大障碍之一：我们是如此不同。与神不同，彼此也不同。
好消息是，联系不是基于相似性，而是基于共享的经历。当一个人邀请另一个人分享经历时，他们就建立了联系。它可以是分享美丽的日落或一顿饭，喝杯咖啡进行愉快的交谈，散步，甚至是取笑某人。当我们与上帝分享同样的经历时，我们也与他更加接近。上帝想要与我们建立联系——以至于他派他的儿子作为一个人生活。神道成肉身，分享人类的每一个经历。所以我们不必再想知道与神的亲密关系是什么样的。
与上帝和其他人的亲密关系不一定是陈词滥调，它可以是一种日常生活方式。

What if creating deeper, more meaningful relationships is easier than you think?

- how to sidestep common relationship pitfalls
- how to make God an active part of your everyday life
Whether you’re a man or a woman; whether you’re the life of the party or a wallflower; whether you’re a thinker or a feeler or a category not yet known to social science, you were made for connection.
