We need belonging as much as we need air to fill our lungs. But alienation, isolation, and distrust are the everyday markers of our lives--including our faith communities. The twenty-two contributors in this book offer an engaging path forward, inviting readers to the promise and peril of Christian belonging.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Belonging matters now more than ever. Indeed, belonging is the question of this generation. Like the air we breathe, belonging is also a matter of life and death.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In an age of self-help strategies and shiny lives, the contributors to this volume are grounded in the depths of lived experience. Contextual, story-driven, and representing a global network of thought leaders, each chapter equips individuals and communities to take the next step. \u003ci\u003ePathways to Belonging\u003c\/i\u003e points the way to the expansive, flourishing life for which we yearn.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDustin D.
