"Simpler Living, Compassionate Life: A Christian Perspective" by Michael Schut (Editor), Micahel Schut, Richard Foster (Contributor), Cecile Andrews (Contributor)

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!

In The Circle of Simplicity: Return to the Good Life, author Cecile Andrews helps you discover and create the good life for yourself. She is renowned for her workshops on voluntary simplicity and her seminars on creating simplicity circles, where people explore their own life stories and share information and knowledge, helping one another develop lives of simplicity and satisfaction. The circles do not only give people the tools to change, but they also fill unmet needs for community and intimacy and the desire to search for truth in the company of kindred spirits.
