Funny you should mention the NextDoor app. It has taught me so much, especially in Calendar Year 2020, about my neighbors. I had no real idea what their thoughts were, and now (most days) I wish I could go back to that time before I knew what they were thinking.
I've had mixed experiences with LFLs so far. Mostly, they are stuffed with "penny dreadfuls", "romance" novels with horrid cover art. I've sometimes mused about giving away some books on Van Tillian Presuppositionalism, to balance things out.
I did have one BRILLIANT find. Among the cheap romance novels, I found a book on the history and physics of piano tuning. It was hardcover, in great shape, and I swiped it in a flash. Two months later, a family with four kids started coming to our church. I found out that the dad is a piano tuner by trade. Now the book is safe in his hands. God really does work in mysterious ways!

“Both will find a way to think outside your box.” LOL. That’s pretty clever. I wonder if the “Ethicist” meant that as the burn it sounds like to me.
I am now filled with a desire to put good Christian books in LFLs!
