Book Synopsis
Christians often wrestle with their role in this fallen, physical world.

Review Quotes
"To hear Barry tell it, living with-God-for-the-world is the key to all human flourishing. . . . In this nexus lies the hope of real, abundant, rich, beautiful human existence. It's the place that Jesus modeled for us and about which he spoke when he urged us to love God with all our hearts and souls and minds, and to love our neighbors as ourselves. . . . Dwell makes a profound and timely contribution to both missional and pastoral studies."
