Simpler Living, Compassionate Life: A Christian Perspective is a rich collection of voices that bring clarity to the confusion between our society's ideal of the material "good life" with the "abundant life, " modeled after the person of Jesus, the things he taught, and the way he lived. It invites us to re-examine and rearrange our lives, to sweep away the "clutter" that keeps us from contact with the world, with God, with our own souls. It provides further images of the abundant life and suggests ways of moving toward it personally and culturally. It shares practical suggestions that cover topics such as personal consumer choices and service projects to reinvigorating community life and traditional celebrations.

Whether reading through it alone or using the insightful study guide with a group, Simpler Living, Compassionate Life invites you into the dialogue.

Review:
This book is a tremendous resource...The multitude of prayers here share the feelings, emotions, and concerns of people throughout the past two milleniums. The historical aspect of this book is significant. The prayer expressions go back through the centuries to Jesus Christ. This is a permanent tribute to the interpretation of Jesus by the Christian church. Explanations and comments about many of these praying people further the historical value of the book. One of the best features of the book is the devotional material. These short and meaningful prayers can be helpful in the spiritual lives of many believers. Another plus is the comprehensive index of authors and subject matter...A great volume! -- Tremendous Resource, says Provident Bookfinder

This is a wonderful collection of writings from diverse voices - some quite surprising - exploring voluntary simplicity as a path to wholeness and abundance and compassion. Practical, prayerful, fun. -- At The Center, St. Placid Priory Newsletter
