“Somewhere, deep within each of us is an understanding about God. We don't often use the word theology when talking about issues of everyday living, but somehow we need to find a means to bring a discussion of our understanding of God into the conversation about consumption. We suspect that at the root of many of the causes that drive us to overconsume is a view that God and God’s creation is insufficient to meet our needs, or a view that God is so distant from the concerns about our daily lives that he is unconcerned about our levels of consumption.”
(“Will Samson, Enough: Contentment in an Age of Excess, p.54)
