Landscape of the Soul: Confronting the Ethos of Progress and Restoring American Spirituality

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 churchs 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.
