Powerful…Hopeful…A Visionary Manual.
Each of these words has been used to describe the impact of Peter Block and co-author John McKnight’s recent best-seller The Abundant Community: Awakening the Power of Families and Neighborhoods. People are starting to have the right conversations, the conversations that offer a future filled with reward.
We are bombarded with new challenges each day – financially, legally, organizationally, environmentally – and it becomes tempting to rely on leaders or systems to provide us with salvation. But the answers to so many of our problems can be found much closer to home and conveniently in the comfort of our own neighborhoods. “The book offers concrete, detailed ideas on how to return to community,” says inspired reader Robert Kall. “It demonstrates how to do it competently, with heart, compassion, kindness and as unique individuals.”
This book gives voice to our ideal of a beloved community. It reminds us of our power to create a hope-filled life. It assures us that when we join together with our neighbors we are the architects of the future where we want to live.
