On its ten-year anniversary of publication, we are pleased to re-issue this popular book
Editor Michael Schut presents a rare collection of voices—Henri Nouwen, Cecile Andrews, Richard Foster and others—as they explore our use of money, the practice of simplicity, listening to our lives, widening our circle of community, and other topics at the core of how we live out our faith in our homes and workplaces. A study guide is included.
