{"product_id":"saving-the-heartland-jeffrey-marlett-9780875802916","title":"Saving the Heartland","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Catholic Rural Life Movement of the mid-twentieth century worked to safeguard the future of both farming and faith as its \"motor missions\" traveled to the heartland, adapting liturgical traditions to rural conditions. The Catholic missionaries joined with other groups, both religious and secular, to improve American farming practices after the \"dust bowl\" crisis. Simultaneously responding to a perceived crisis of belief, they worked to save the faith from modernist doctrines and to gain rural converts to a religious practice that was associated mainly with urban immigrants. Saving the Heartland explores the process by which rural Catholicism finally won recognition as a religious subculture in need of its own devotions, celebrations, and publications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeffrey Marlett\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0875802915\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780875802916\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Northern Illinois University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 244\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.16lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.44h x 6.30w x 0.74d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2002 pg. 647","brand":"Jeffrey Marlett","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44063454593279,"sku":"9780875802916","price":47.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c965051e-548e-4af3-9191-49f0b6a2f7cf.jpg?v=1685389648","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/saving-the-heartland-jeffrey-marlett-9780875802916","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
