Declining church attendance. A growing feeling of betrayal. For
Christians who have begun to feel set adrift and disillusioned by
their churches, Where Goodness Still Grows grounds us in a new view
of virtue deeply rooted in a return to Jesus Christ's life and
ministry. The evangelical church in America has reached a
crossroads. Social media and recent political events have exposed
the fault lines that exist within our country and our spiritual
communities. Millennials are leaving the church, citing hypocrisy,
partisanship, and unkindness as reasons they can't stay. In this
book Amy Peterson explores the corruption and blind spots of the
evangelical church and the departure of so many from the faith -
but she refuses to give up hope, believing that rescue is on the
way. Where Goodness Still Grows: Dissects the moral code of
American evangelicalism Reimagines virtue as a tool, not a weapon
Explores the Biblical meaning of specific virtues like kindness,
purity, and modesty Provides comfort, hope, and a path towards
spiritual restoration Amy writes as someone intimately familiar
with, fond of, and deeply critical of the world of conservative
evangelicalism. She writes as a woman and a mother, as someone
invested in the future of humanity, and as someone who just needs
to know how to teach her kids what it means to be good. Amy finds
that if we listen harder and farther, we will find the places where
goodness still grows. Praise for Where Goodness Still Grows: "In
this poignant, honest book, Amy Peterson confronts her
disappointment with the evangelical leaders who handed her The Book
of Virtues then happily ignored them for the sake of political
power. But instead of just walking away, Peterson rewrites the
script, giving us an alternative book of virtues needed in this
moment. And it's no mistake that it ends with hope." - James K. A.
