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 people (TM)s hidden pains, their permanently open meal-table usually rocked with laughter. Drawing exclusively on the memories of the Community (TM)s 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 Community (TM)s devotion to the details of daily life has had a life-changing impact on many people across the world.
