A Little Manual for Knowing

A how-to for knowing ventures in any field, for you and for your team. Designed for freshman orientation, business and entrepreneurship seminars, design and even athletic teams. A short entrée to key motifs of Meek’s covenant epistemology.

Excerpt

In refreshing challenge to the common but presumption that knowing involves amassing information, this book commends a loving-to-know mindset. In an arc of pilgrimage to gift, the book offers an 8-motif approach that begins with love and pledge and ends with communion and shalom. Everyday adventures of knowing turn on a moment of insight that transforms and connects knower and known. No matter the field—science or art, business or theology, education, counseling or athletics, Little Manual offers concrete guidance to individuals or teams, students or professionals, along with plenty of exercises to spark the process of discovery, design, artistry, or mission.
