New and notable

“You Are What You Love: The Spiritual Power of Habit” by James K.A. Smith (Brazos Press, $19.99) – Smith shows that who and what we worship fundamentally shape our hearts. And while we desire to shape culture, we are not often aware of how culture shapes us. We might not realize the ways our hearts are being taught to love rival gods instead of the One for whom we were made. Smith helps readers recognize the formative power of culture and the transformative possibilities of Christian practices.
