You Are What You Love: The Spiritual Power of Habit

God's Big Picture
(224 pgs., Brazos Press)

Show me your habits and I’ll show you your future.

But how does that work, exactly? How can our habits — our repeated practices — calibrate our hearts to God?  James K.A. Smith draws upon both ancient wisdom and contemporary research to illuminate the spiritual power of our day-to-day routines.

On Work

King: A Life
(104 pgs, The Atlantic)

In merely 104 pages, Derek Thompson tells the story of human labor from the agricultural revolution to Artificial Intelligence. Over that time, the purpose of work has shifted from securing basic necessities (like food) to satisfying psychological needs (like identity).

Thompson chronicles the past, diagnoses the present and projects the future in smooth and crystalline prose.
