Recommended Resource (Christian Living) A "Best Book of 2022,"
Englewood Review of Books "This incisive and eloquent volume will
expand readers' minds."--Publishers Weekly "A beautifully written
book. . . . [Smith] offers a good, pastoral word to
Christians today."--Christian Century Many Christians live a faith
that is "nowhen." They are disconnected from the past or imagine
they are somehow "above" the flux of history, as if every
generation starts with a clean state. They lack an awareness of
time and the effects of history--both personal and collective--and
thus are naive about current issues, prone to nostalgia, or fixated
on the end times and other doomsday versions of the future. Popular
speaker and award-winning author James K. A. Smith
explains that we must reckon with the past in order to discern the
present and have hope for the future. Integrating popular culture,
biblical exposition, and meditation, he helps us develop a sense of
"temporal awareness" that is attuned to the texture of history, the
vicissitudes of life, and the tempo of the Spirit. Smith shows that
awakening to the spiritual significance of time is crucial for
orienting faith in the twenty-first century. It allows us to become
indebted to the past, oriented toward the future, and faithful in
the present.
