Overview
āAndy Crouch shows the path to reclaiming a life that restores the heart of what it means to thrive.āāArthur C. Brooks, #1 New York Times bestselling author of From Strength to Strength
Our greatest need is to be recognizedāto be seen, loved, and embedded in rich relationships with those around us. But for the last century, weāve displaced that need with the ease of technology. Weāve dreamed of mastery without relationship (what the premodern world called magic) and abundance without dependence (what Jesus called Mammon). Yet even before a pandemic disrupted that quest, we felt threatened and strangely out of place: lonely, anxious, bored amid endless options, oddly disconnected amid infinite connections.
In The Life Weāre Looking For, bestselling author Andy Crouch shows how we have been seduced by a false vision of human flourishingāand how each of us can fight back. From the social innovations of the early Christian movement to the efforts of entrepreneurs working to create more humane technology, Crouch shows how we can restore true community and put people first in a world dominated by money, power, and devices.
There is a way out of our impersonal world, into a world where knowing and being known are the heartbeat of our days, our households, and our economies. Where our vulnerabilities are seen not as something to be escaped but as the key to our becoming who we were made to be together. Where technology serves us rather than masters usāand helps us become more human, not less.
