Many Christians are disconnected from the past or imagine they are "above" history, immune to it, as if self-starters from clean slates in every generation. They suffer from a lack of awareness of time and the effects of history—both personal and collective—and thus are naive about current issues and fixated on the end times. Popular speaker and award-winning author James K. A. Smith shows that awakening to the spiritual significance of time is crucial for orienting faith in the twenty-first century.

How does worship work? How exactly does liturgical formation shape us? What are the dynamics of such transformation? In the second of James K. A. Smith's three-volume theology of culture, the author expands and deepens his analysis of cultural liturgies and Christian worship he developed in his well-received Desiring the Kingdom. He helps us understand and appreciate the bodily basis of habit formation and how liturgical formation—both "secular" and Christian—affects our fundamental orientation to the world.

In this culmination of his highly acclaimed Cultural Liturgies project, James K. A. Smith examines politics through the lens of liturgy.

It should come as no surprise that when ViceTV decided to do an episode on “Monsters Fantasies”, they came to Riverdale Avenue Books to interview some of those authors in an episode that aired in March 2018.

We have all probably heard the word “affirmations” at least once, and now we are at the stage of trying it. Perhaps you are here because you need a push in life, or maybe you have been going through a rough patch, and there is no one around to uplift you, so you have to do it yourself. Or I could be wrong, and you are just seeking a little self-motivation. It doesn't matter what your motive is, we are all here for one reason: self-motivation. Affirmations are one way through which we can attain self-motivation.
