The welcome of God changes everything.
“...a book for our time and for all time”
No one is a stranger to loneliness. Despite how social we are via text, chat, and a stream of notifications, we are far from being truly connected. We want someone else to really see us and choose us for who we are. We want a place to finally fit in.
But what if belonging is not dependent on particular people and places, but a way of being in the world?
From her community-building background, Sarah E. Westfall invites us into a gentle-but-sturdy approach to belonging, rooted in the welcome of God. After years contemplating how she fit in and trying to earn acceptance, she realized "belonging is not something to attain, but someone to become." Through narrative, research, Scripture, and spiritual practice, The Way of Belonging guides us to a picture of belonging as a way of being—a posture of welcome that is ours to embrace and extend.
