This is a book for people who long for community and for people who've found it; for young seekers and for old radicals. Like a farmer's almanac or a good cookbook, it's a guide that doesn't tell you what to do, but rather gives you the resources you need to find your way together with friends in the place where you are. We couldn't be more grateful to have a book like this. And we couldn't be happier to share it with you.\" --Shane Claiborne and Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In the 21st century, a new generation of Spirit-energized people are searching for a new--yet ancient--way of life together.
