Concise Title: Why the Insignificant Matters Most: The Way of Love in a World of Hurt

From multi-Grammy winner Charlie Peacock and his wife and author, Andi Ashworth, comes a hopeful and practical model for what it means to be a Christian and a culture-maker in a world of hurt and wondrous possibility. In "Why Everything That Doesn't Matter, Matters So Much," beloved and trusted mentors, Charlie and Andi, offer thought-provoking explorations into the many facets of Christian culture care and making, from the kitchen to Carnegie Hall, as well as practical guidance for how to care for and improve the quality of human life, locally and globally, no matter one's vocation. They present a theology of imagination and creativity that provides a framework for all of life and a model for expressing love in marriage, friendship, citizenship, and every kind of work—even in the midst of cynicism, fear, exhaustion, and oppression.

Do you feel powerless and overwhelmed by the pain and suffering all around you? Have you ever asked, "What can I do to mend the world, my family, or my own life? And if I could, why bother? Does my own small part even matter?" If so, this collection of letters to Christians and spiritual seekers who think deeply and care acutely about the state of the world and their personal spheres of influence provides hope from two guides who are further down the road.

It might be said of Christians that our lives are either moving in the direction of the redemption Jesus has on offer, or away from it. Each of these letters is a gentle nudge in the direction of God's powerfully ordinary purpose for each of us, no matter what the future holds, to participate fully in the beautiful, redemptive work of Christ.
