Customer Reviews for Inter-varsity Press The Fabric of Faithfulness: Weaving Together Belief and Behavior- Expanded Edition

The current age is not a welcome environment for emotional, intellectual and spiritual formation. Society is increasingly fragmented. And the educational system itself, fragmented and specialized, may disintegrate more than it integrates.

How do parents, professors, campus ministers, youth pastors and others help students, during one of the most eventful and intense periods of life, learn to connect what they believe about the world with how they live in it? Steven Garber vigorously engages just that question in this revised edition of The Fabric of Faithfulness, which includes a new extended preface and epilogue on what he has learned about ongoing formation in the years since the book first appeared. Drawing on the history of ideas, ethics, sociology and popular culture, he offers must-reading on the vital lifework of making sense of life. Voted one of Christianity Today's 1998 Books of the Year!
