Humans--as Augustine noted--are \"desiring agents,\" full of longings and passions; in brief, we are what we love. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJames K. A. Smith focuses on the themes of liturgy and desire in \u003ci\u003eDesiring the Kingdom\u003c\/i\u003e, the first book in what will be a three-volume set on the theology of culture. He redirects our yearnings to focus on the greatest good: God. Ultimately, Smith seeks to re-vision education through the process and practice of worship. Students of philosophy, theology, worldview, and culture will welcome \u003ci\u003eDesiring the Kingdom\u003c\/i\u003e, as will those involved in ministry and other interested readers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Baker Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780801035777\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.04h x 6.02w x 0.73d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Christianity Today Book Award - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eChristianity Today\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2009 pg. 55\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChristian Century\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/15\/2009 pg. 24\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooks \u0026amp; Culture\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/27\/2011 pg. 8\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChristianity Today\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2013 pg. 68\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"James K.
