Culture Making

Culture Making:
Recovering Our Creative Calling
By Andy Crouch (IVP, 2008)
A 2009 Outreach Resource of the Year

“Culture making is needed in every company, every school and every church. In every place there are impossibilities that leave even the powerful feeling constrained and drained, and that rob the powerless of the ability to imagine something different and better. At root, every human cultural enterprise is haunted by the ultimate impossibility, death, which threatens to slam shut the door of human hope. But God is at work precisely in these places where the impossible seems absolute. Our calling is to join Him in what He is already doing—to make visible what, in exodus and resurrection, He has already done.” —Andy Crouch, from the book
