Publisher's Description
The North American church is struggling. Our society seems to be coming apart at the seams and Christianity appears on the verge of losing its voice, its leadership, and its youth. The church's calling is to cooperate with her Creator in the repair of the world. Instead, we struggle in the loss of the simplicity of the natural images of Jesus which compel us to engage tension, dependency, and the lesson of being on the margins. Until we learn to take our cues from a world we did not build, our actions will continue to prop up a society struggling from the weight of its own ethos. Part history, part cultural dialogue, part travelogue--always in conversation with the ancient and compelling biblical vision of shalom--Landscape of the Soul will encourage you to see beyond the shells of your constructed world to those places where dynamic spiritual rhythms can still be found.

“Grace unmasks the constructs through which we attempt to meet our physical and spiritual needs. Our trust in human achievement has scarred our landscapes and isolated our souls from God. This book will inspire you to re-examine your actions and assumptions as it leads you to a spirituality attuned to grace. Our overprogrammed, overbuilt world needs to hear this invitation to rest and peace.”
