I can’t think of a better place to read about reclaiming relationships than on a beach vacation with family on a Caribbean Island. In fact, buy this book…and then buy a plane ticket…and prepare to dive into a great conversation dealing with the longings of your heart, soul, and mind. I strongly commend The Life We’re Looking for by Andy Crouch<\/a><\/em>, just as I have everything else I’ve ever read that he has written.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technology has left us all feeling more “connected” than ever before. After all, how else would I be keeping up with my favorite science teacher from the 8th grade? But as much as I love Mrs. Roberts and the fact that she likes the pictures of my kids on Instagram, I haven’t talked to her in almost 30 years and she isn’t going to ask me “how are you really doing?” The “connections” we often claim are truly just busyness that causes us to miss what’s most important. Crouch’s new work helps us identify that feeling of longing and gives us some practical ideas to consider as we take steps to move into The Life We’re Looking For.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I highlighted several things while reading and have posted those notes below…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
