Simpler Living, Compassionate Life:
A Christian Perspective
This is an excellent set of essays, complete with a study guide
at the end! A great resource for small group discussion.
"Simpler Living, Compassionate Life gathers many voices into
one insistent, yet gentle call: for the sake of all we hold sacred
North Americans must change the way we live. Beyond stridency
and fear these voices remind us that there is a spaciousness to
choosing ‘less’ that may bring ‘more’ real wealth into our
lives. The study curriculum is excellent, especially for people
of faith.”

creation."
~ David Beckmann,
President, Bread for the World"
