Why Everything That Doesn't Matter, Matters So Much: The Way of Love in a World of Hurt

Read by the authors. A hopeful and practical model for what it means to be a culture-maker and a Christian in a world in crisis from multi–Grammy winner Charlie Peacock and his wife and author, Andi Ashworth. If you feel powerless and overwhelmed by the pain, suffering, and crises you see in your family, your community, or the world around you, here comes hope from two guides who are further down the road. Charlie and Andi have written a collection of letters to Christians who think deeply and care acutely about the state of the world and their personal spheres of influence. In Why Everything That Doesn't Matter, Matters So Much, beloved and trusted mentors, Charlie and Andi offer you: A hopeful response to the universal question: What can I do to repair the world, my own family, or my own life? And even if I could, why bother? Practical guidance for how to care for and improve the quality of human life, locally and globally, no matter your vocation. Thought-provoking explorations into the many facets of what it means to be a culture-maker and a Christian. A theology of artistry that provides a framework for the creative work of all Jesus followers. A model for expressing love even in the midst of cynicism, fear, exhaustion, and oppression.   It might be said of Christians that our lives are either moving in the direction of the redemption Jesus has on offer, or away from it. Each of these letters is a gentle nudge back in the direction of God's powerfully ordinary purpose for each of us, no matter what the future holds, to participate fully in the redemptive work of Christ. Includes interviews with Dr. Curt Thompson, M.D., a psychiatrist in private practice in Falls Church, Virginia, whose focus has been the integration of psychiatry and Christian spirituality, Dr. Steven Garber, the Senior Fellow for Vocation and the Common Good for the M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust, and Ruby Amanfu, a Ghana-born, Nashville-based GRAMMY nominated songwriter and recording artist. The resources can be found in the audiobook companion PDF download.
