The longing for home, for place, for rootedness is ultimately a longing for Jesus.

"Although these current tumultuous times are often described as unprecedented, Stephen Shaffer reminds us that the journey offinding rest and rootedness in God is as old as the story of God's redemptive work in His world. Drawing upon a host of various scenes from scripture, we are assured by Shaffer that the quest for rootedness can take many different paths and can be found in many treasured practices of the Christian faith. In a world of great upheaval, the message found in Rooted is one we cannot ignore."
