Save 40% on The Cost of Community

Thursday, October 20th, 2011

Previous Post – Courting Satan

After waiting so long, I am excited to announce that my new book, “The Cost of Community: Jesus, St. Francis & Life in the Kingdom”, is now shipping!  As if that was not exciting enough, today I received an email from the amazing folks at InterVarsity Press informing me that they want to do something special for you all.  Between now and October 28th, they are offering the book to you at 40% off retail price.  Further, if you buy 3 or more copies, shipping is free in Canada & the US.

For more information, click here and place your order.  Please help get the word out.

Peace & all good!

P.S. For all those who already ordered the book, but didn’t get this kind of deal, all I can say is thank you for your early support.  It went a LONG way in helping the book off to a great start.

Belated St. Francis Day Blessings

Previous Post – Stories from the Neighbourhood

With new fatherhood & our Justice DTS upon on, I failed to write several St. Francis posts this past week, including yesterday, the Feast of St. Francis.  So, while delayed, I wanted to point you towards one of my favorite Franciscans, Dan Horan OFM over at DatingGod.com.  His Feast Day post was entitled Following Francis of Assisi Today: Who Are Our Lepers? Here’s an excerpt:

I think that these two constitutive elements of the Franciscan life — humility and poverty — are really important aspects of the Christian life upon which we all can reflect today. That Francis desired the brothers all serve the lepers signifies that they were to transcend the boundaries of social and class distinctions, to risk meeting the stranger and the unknown, to “get dirty” in the messiness of human living, and bring peace, understanding and love all the while. The lepers were the voiceless, the marginalized, the ignored, despised and forgotten. Who are our lepers today? Who are the ones that the rest of the Church, society and world wishes to push off outside of our everyday experience so that we never have to encounter them? They are out there and we are called to be among them.
