Description
Christianity Today Book Award Winner ● Martin Institute and Dallas Willard Center Book Award
You are what you love. But you might not love what you think.
Who and what we worship fundamentally shape our hearts. We may not realize, however, the ways our hearts are taught to love rival gods instead of the One for whom we were made. And while we desire to shape culture, we are not often aware of how culture shapes us.
In this book, popular speaker and award-winning author James K. A. Smith helps us recognize the formative power of culture and the transformative possibilities of Christian practices.
Includes:
● film, literature, and music illustrations to engage readers
● new material on marriage, family, youth ministry, and faith and work
● individual and communal practices for shaping the Christian life
