The answer lies in the hands of God's people. Increasingly, today’s Christians want to \u003ci\u003ebe\u003c\/i\u003e the church, to follow Christ together in daily life. From every corner of society, they are daring to step away from the status quo and respond to Christ’s call to share their lives more fully with one another and with others. As they take the plunge, they are discovering the rich, meaningful life that Jesus has in mind for all people, and pointing the church back to its original calling: to be a gathered, united community that demonstrates the transforming love of God.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOf course, such a life together with others isn’t easy. The selections in this volume are, by and large, written by practitioners-people who have pioneered life in intentional community and have discovered in the nitty-gritty of daily life what it takes to establish, nurture, and sustain a Christian community over the long haul.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhether you have just begun thinking about communal living,\u003c\/b\u003e are already embarking on sharing life with others, or have been part of a community for many years, the pieces in this collection will encourage, challenge, and strengthen you. The book’s fifty-two chapters can be read one a week to ignite meaningful group discussion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eContributors include:\u003c\/b\u003e John F.
