Publisher's Description
Life is louder than words can ever express because, from a biblical point of view, the world is broken by humanity's rebellion against its creator. Humanity is fragmented: all the offspring of Adam and Eve are born loving death. That is something that the modern age has tried to ignore and the postmodern age longs to embrace. More to the point, it is something that the church has tried to forget. However, we do so at our own peril. This work is a snapshot of the development of fragmentation in the Western world. It is also a map toward wholeness. We cannot move forward if we do not know where we are or where we are going. This searching for heart in a heartless world is an attempt to locate where we are on the map of history by examining the past through the corrective lenses of living faith so that we may be able to teach our children to have hope in hopeless times.

“Louder than Words is a true cri de coeur. . . . The reader cannot come away unscathed. . . . All those whose hearts cry out for a more coherent lifestyle in God’s good creation ought to read this work.”
“Louder than Words is a refreshingly transparent book, drenched with the reflection and depth of a theologian, the humility of a servant, and the caring of a shepherd. . . . This is an important book for our times.”
“Stephens helpfully traces the fragmentation of Western culture and shows how individual human experience follows suit. He demonstrates that this fragmentation exists because of the curse on man for his rebellion against God. Stephens offers the only solution to societal and personal fragmentation. This renewal of wholeness . . . can be found only in the resurrected Christ. I heartily recommend this work.”
“In the midst of a world that is reeling in a sea of brokenness and strife, Stephens offers a profound view of cause and effect by taking the reader on a journey back to the beginning of creation and moving through the time continuum to our present-day chaos. Stephens’s faith witness gives the beacon of hope that the world needs to hear at this time.”
