Great Book (5/5) | Nov 10, 2009 | Kristi | |
| My name is Kristi and I just finished reading this book. I got it for free at our homeschool fair in Portland Oregon. I'm 35, married 15 years with 5 children and I homeschool them on our 3 acre farm. I have to say this book has turned my world upside down with your radical book! I have lately been very burdened with our "stuff" and I'm always looking for ways to purge and give and I feel like the seed that was choked by the worries and cares of this life! I feel burried in cares and possessions which I would love to sell, the idea of doing it seems overwhelming! I really love your book and I agree with all that you bring out of the Scriptures. My biggest question is how to live like this when everyone you know doesn't? The early church was of one accord and they all shared and helped one another. If we give away our savings and our roof needs to be repaired in 3 years or our car of 15 years burns out what do we do if everyone we know saves for themselves? I'm not trying to come up with excuses here. I'm just wondering how you can do this and not be a burden? Are there churches or communities of believers who live like this? We want to obey God's commands. I guess we just need more faith to let go of the safety nets we're used to having in place beneath us. Thank you so much for writing this book and for letting it be published free of charge. We are passing it on! In Jesus, Kristi | ||||
