The Tribal Instinct: The Sacred Desire for People and Place (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798846099272)

Hiraeth is a Welsh word for which there is no English equivalent. Hiraeth is a feeling of homesickness for a home to which you cannot return. A grief for something that was not only lost, but for something you can't even remember what it was. Many Christians feel an acute sense of hiraeth because they have no tribe. They have no people. No place. No sense of belonging.

The Tribal Instinct explains what exactly tribes are and why they have disappeared. More importantly, it explores the Biblical case for tribe and what Christians might do to recover what has been lost. With unabashed pessimism, The Tribal Instinct addresses difficult subjects like the role of race, gender, and language in the formation of tribes-a long overdue conversation too many are afraid to discuss.

While the world is seemingly moving away from tribes, many are not. They are seeking ways to reconnect with their people and form communities that have far more meaning and purpose than neighborhood HOAs or anonymous internet forums. For those struggling to understand who their people are, and where their place is, The Tribal Instinct will offer a welcome breath of fresh air into your search.
