Humans - as Augustine noted - are "desiring agents", full of longings and passions; in brief, we are what we love. James K. A.

He redirects our yearnings to focus on the greatest good: God.

Popular speaker and award-winning author James K. A. Smith shows that awakening to the spiritual significance of time is crucial for orienting faith in the twenty-first century.
