Advance Praise for
Death by Suburb "Death by Suburb ... addresses and overcomes the split in our religion, our lifestyles, and even our consciousness." —Fr. Richard Rohr, O.F.M., author of Everything Belongs: The Gift of Contemplative Prayer "With a compassion born of his own experiences of suburban unreality and dysfunction, Goetz effectively evokes a thicker sense of our social and religious worlds." —Leigh Schmidt, Princeton University, author of Restless Souls: The Making of American Spirituality "Goetz sees the parched lives, the truncated spirits beneath the suburban bliss, and the grace too. In his gracious eyes suburbia begins to look like an outbreak of the Kingdom of God." —William H. Willimon, author of Sinning Like a Christian
