Suburban life-including tract homes, strip malls, commuter
culture-shapes our desires. More than half of Americans live in the
suburbs. Ashley Hales writes that for many Christians, however:
"The suburbs are ignored ('Your place doesn't matter, we're all
going to heaven anyway'), denigrated and demeaned ('You're selfish
if you live in a suburb; you only care about your own safety and
advancement'), or seen as a cop-out from a faithful Christian life
('If you really loved God, you'd move to Africa or work in an
impoverished area'). In everything from books to Hollywood jokes,
the suburbs aren't supposed to be good for our souls." What does it
look like to live a full Christian life in the suburbs? Suburbs
reflect our good, God-given desire for a place to call home. And
suburbs also reflect our own brokenness. This book is an invitation
to look deeply into your soul as a suburbanite and discover what it
means to live holy there.
