Published in partnership with Yale Universtiy, this book points to a Christian faith grounded in a consequential way of life, including substantive moral virtues and a sacramental vision in which all of life participates with God.This whos who in youth ministry focuses on practices that enhance joy by pointing to the contingency of human life and our participation with Gods redemption work for all creation. At root, a Christian life is ordered by worship and practices that recognize, celebrate, and respond in joy in light of humanitys contingency and Gods gratuitous liberation of all creation.Contributors: Steven Argue, Kyle David Bennett, Kenda Creasy Dean, Michal Beth Dinkler, Amanda Hontz Drury, Fred P.
