Reviews:

–Byron Borger in July 1, 2026 book notes:

From the broad frontier ideologies in the ninetieth century America to modern notions of ministry in unique places — suburbs, say, or rural cultures — this book brings in all kinds of insight, making it a thrill of a read, exciting and educational and informative. If you are a life-long learner, it’s like a Master Class and you will come away informed and enriched. More, though, from the very first places you know (think for a moment) this matters; it matters deeply. Norquist and Miller convey passion and even urgency knowing that people of faith must do better at bringing their deepest convictions to bear upon our culture making and place-keeping, stewarding our gifts of embodiment in space. In fact, one major chapter in assisting us to tell a better story about place offers “four themes for rereading Bible stories about land.”
