Awe: Why It Matters for Everything We Think, Say, and Do

Awe as the organising force of the heart: misplaced awe (in stuff, in self, in people) explains most dysfunction, and restored awe of God reorders everything. Applied to ministry, parenting, work and complaint.

Three things you will actually use

  1. Awe is inescapable; the question is its object.
  2. Complaint is misplaced awe.
  3. Restore awe and behaviour follows.

Do this first

Read the chapter on complaint as an awe problem.

Our verdict

Awe, as the lens.
