Loneliness is increasingly recognized as a major public health crisis that is on the rise and impacting people of all ages. Addressing the crisis of loneliness from a fresh perspective, this book introduces belonging as an overlooked but critical aspect of a flourishing Christian life. Eric Jacobsen shows how three pieces of glass--the car windshield, TV, and smartphone--are emblematic of significant societal shifts that have created a cultural habit of physical isolation. We feel increasingly disconnected from the people and places around us. Jacobsen explains how adopting everyday practices and making changes in our neighborhoods can help us create a sense of belonging and rediscover what belonging in a place looks like. In order to effectively solve the problem of loneliness, we need to recover patterns and practices of community life that encourage us to form meaningful connections with people and stories that are part of the places where we live, work, and worship. To this end, Jacobsen offers four redemptive strategies for living a more intentional and spiritual life.

The Devil might dress himself up as a business man, but he can't disguise his hooves. What do you do when a bear knocks on your door and demands your youngest daughter? St. Peter sleeps in a bread oven and a monk sets to sea on a millstone. Teaching geese to speak Latin and a boy so big that he sleeps on the roof and still his feet touch the ground. Then there's the hound that's stuck to the fox that's stuck to the goose that's stuck to the girl who's stuck to the boy who's stuck to his mistress who's stuck to the monk who's being thrashed unmercifully by a magic stick - you'll find them all in Three Pieces of good Advice.
