Description
Here, in one volume, you can gain a bird's eye view of communities that survived the 80s. Part directory, part anthology, and part introduction to communal living, this is probably the best guide to Christian communities in the US and Canada on the market. The main body of the text is based on survey material sent to the editor from the groups he chose to feature, which allows the reader to "hear" community members themselves. Includes several insightful essays, on communal living, and on the probable roots of community failure and success.
