Louder Than Words Brad Stephens

Life is louder than words can ever express because, from a biblical point of view, the world is broken by humanity's rebellion against its creator. Humanity is fragmented: all the offspring of Adam and Eve are born loving death. That is something that the modern age has tried to ignore and the postmodern age longs to embrace. More to the point, it is something that the church has tried to forget. However, we do so at our own peril. This work is a snapshot of the development of fragmentation in the Western world. It is also a map toward wholeness. We cannot move forward if we do not know where we are or where we are going. This searching for heart in a heartless world is an attempt to locate where we are on the map of history by examining the past through the corrective lenses of living faith so that we may be able to teach our children to have hope in hopeless times.
