A Simple Life

For 50 years a unique and courageous group of people have quietly opted for a life of poverty and the discipline of prayer. Always with the time and care to understand peoples hidden pains their permanently open meal-table usually rocked with laughter. Drawing exclusively on the memories of the Communitys members their private papers and the reminiscences of those they have known this book captures a life of humour tragedy inspiration and insight. In our increasingly dehumanising culture the Communitys devotion to the details of daily life has had a life-changing impact on many people across the world.
