Flourishing in Community

“Joel Kime’s book is a call for togetherness, a special way of being in community that allows everyone to flourish as God intended, overcoming not only loneliness and hyper-individualism but also injustice and political animosity. In our socially fragmented era, no message is more important for American Christians to hear.”


—Douglas Jacobsen, author of Global Gospel: An Introduction to Christianity on Five Continents





“We do not need another screed against rampant individualism. Nor are we aching for another passionate plea for community. What we have been lacking, though, is both roadmap and rationale for togetherness. That’s what Dr. Joel Kime presents in this provocative volume. Conversational in tone yet robust in theological reflection, he explores not just why but also how humans flourish when they work, worship, and weep together.”
