You Are What You Love

But you may not love what you believe in. Who or what we worship fundamentally shapes our hearts. However, we may not recognize the ways our hearts learn to love false gods instead of the 'one true God' we were created for. As we seek to shape culture, we may not realize that culture shapes us.

In this book, award-winning author James K.A. Smith helps us distinguish the cultural forces of shaping against the transforming power of authentic Christian practices.

What Timothy Keller, author of 'Faith in an Age of Skepticism,' said about the book:

'A seamless introduction to Augustinian thought, which shows that what shapes us most is what we love, more than simply what we believe or do. Even if sin and virtue mingle, if love is put in its right place; and if the only means of change is to amend what we worship, this will lead us to rethink how we conduct Christian service.'

The author gives us fundamental insights into how what we love affects our worship, Christian education, spiritual formation, and even our life work. This is an important, thought-provoking book.
