For over fifteen years, writer Jeff Crosby has been searching for a language of the soul—a way to articulate our deepest longings. Through the years he gathered clues from within global music styles, from different cultures, from his own Christian tradition and its sacred texts—and from deep within himself.

Drawing on more than five decades of attentive listening, Jeff Crosby explores how popular music has functioned as a form of "general revelation"—a way listeners encounter questions of God, purpose, justice, suffering, and hope beyond formal religious institutions. Through seventeen concise, engaging artist portraits, he examines how musicians across pop, rock, soul, folk, and R&B have articulated spiritual longing, wrestled with faith and doubt, and offered listeners imaginative resources for navigating their own interior lives.

World of Wonders is a heartfelt tribute to the power of books and reading's ability to unfurl the glory of God, transform our lives, open windows to the world, inspire our imaginations, and help us be more faithful Christ followers. Crosby explores how reading bridges differences, fosters understanding, and brings healing in a fractured world.

He tells himself it’s justified. That the people on his list deserve it. That this is service—just under a different flag. But the cracks are forming.
