'There's always room for a story that can transport people to another place.' J. K. Rowling
Earlier this year, I read Mark Scandrette's book, ' Practicing the Way of Jesus: Life Together in the Kingdom of Love,' within minutes of reading its opening paragraphs, I began texting a couple of friends to say: " Listen to the way in which this new book that I am reading begins,". I then went on to quote:
"A number of years ago I invited a group of friends into an audacious experiment in which each of us would sell or give away half of our possessions and donate the profits to global poverty relief. We were inspired by what Jesus taught about true security and abundance, deciding that an experiment would eb a tangible way to explore the implications for our everyday lives."
