Loneliness is increasingly recognized as a major public health
crisis that is on the rise and impacting people of all ages.
Addressing the crisis of loneliness from a fresh perspective, this
book introduces belonging as an overlooked but critical aspect of a
flourishing Christian life. Eric Jacobsen shows how three pieces of
glass--the car windshield, TV, and smartphone--are emblematic of
significant societal shifts that have created a cultural habit of
physical isolation. We feel increasingly disconnected from the
people and places around us. Jacobsen explains how adopting
everyday practices and making changes in our neighborhoods can help
us create a sense of belonging and rediscover what belonging in a
place looks like. In order to effectively solve the problem of
loneliness, we need to recover patterns and practices of community
life that encourage us to form meaningful connections with people
and stories that are part of the places where we live, work, and
worship. To this end, Jacobsen offers four redemptive strategies
for living a more intentional and spiritual life.
