Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“The political arena attracts corrupt power seekers and sensational headline grabbers more often than people who genuinely seek truth and the common good. By contrast, I heartily commend Evan Howard’s inspiring stories of public witness for social justice and moral integrity from both ancient and contemporary Christian communities. Their witness reaches far beyond their numbers and subsequent generations continue to draw strength from their fidelity.”

Finding Intentional Community

Christian Living

“As an experienced writer and researcher, Werning does a fine job of entering into the unique cultures of each of the quite diverse communities he writes about. He engages the topics that are key to their life together. Initially the goal of James Werning’s book was to get people to join existing communities. He ends up inviting readers to consider going deeper where they are, to take a vow of stability and thicken the relationships that are given.”
