In their outstanding book Veneer: Living Deeply in a Surface Society (Zondervan), Jason Locy and Timothy Willard challenge believers to move beyond the surface-level lives offered by contemporary culture. Taking on “the cultural narcissism in which everyone is in love with the self,” they help Christians understand how to move into a richer sense of their identity as children of God. This is a powerful, well-written book which will help church leaders better understand the cultural challenges we face and how to confront them.
