by Various Contributors

Community, Spiritual Practices, Conspire

Conspire! in a quarterly publication from a diverse network of communities and groups. Many of us have made some commitment to life in community in a specific location. Conspire! exists to explore in a collaborative, creative, and corporate way some of the unique issues that arise from community life. At the same time, it engages the struggles of many who are not in such communities. Some of us are seeking community, some of us are recovering from community. Some of us would be thrilled to find just one kindred spirit.

Follow Me to Freedom audiobook

by Shane Claiborne & John Perkins

Community, Spiritual Practices, Audiobooks

John says it’s a book on leadership. Shane says it’s a book on followership. The truth is… it’s probably a little of both, and that’s exactly what we need. In an age of division over race, class, age, theology, and politics this book brings together an unlikely duo with a radical message of reconciliation. Their backgrounds are very different, but the future they invite us to imagine is exactly the same. Claiborne and Perkins harmonize their voices in this fresh, winsome, and insightful look at what it means to embody with our lives the gospel that we proclaim with our lips. Follow Me to Freedom is a call to lead—a life, a community, a revolution that moves the world a little closer to God’s dream.

This item is an audiobook.  The physical book is also available.

New Monasticism

by Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove

Community, Spiritual Practices, Books

New Monasticism is a growing movement of committed Christians who are recovering the radical discipleship of monasticism and unearthing a fresh expression of Christianity in America. It’s not centered in a traditional monastery (many New Monastics are married with children) but instead its members live radically, settling in abandoned sections of society, committing to community, sharing incomes, serving the poor, and practicing spiritual disciplines. New Monasticism by Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove offers an insider’s perspective into the life of the New Monastics and shows how this movement is dependent on the church for stability, diversity, and structure.

The Ordinary Radicals

by Jamie Moffett

Alternative Economics, Community, Do It Yourself, Politics, Prayer, DVDs

In the margins of the United States, there lives a revolutionary Christianity. One with a quiet disposition that seeks to do “small things with great love,” and in so doing is breaking 21st Century stereotypes surronding this 2000 year old faith. The Ordinary Radicals is set against the modern American political and social backdrop of the next Great Awakening. Sharing a relevant outlook for people with all faith perspectives, director Jamie Moffett examines this growing movement.
