Book Summary
A culture built upon the ideology of individual choice is a culture of alienation, loneliness, and violence. In The Listening Heart, A. J. Conyers shows that Western culture was once informed by a sense of vocation, that men understood life as a response to a call from outside and above themselves. Conyers reveals with stunning insight how the quintessential institution of modernity dissolves one's ties to family, church, and clan. Conyers cogently argues for a restoration of vocation and the affections that constitute real community and thus what it means to be human.
