Reading this book again - and want so much to launch into orbit ! But the gravity of Christian consumerism, comfort, convenience is so difficult to break free from... It does my head in - I'm spending some time exploring ways to launch and get speed up to get away... Here's some ideas for me and my tribe ... I'll add more as we go on ...
1. Big hospitality, missional and training house for my tribe and about 10 others ...
2. Share more stuff - put my stuff online for folks to borrow ...
3. Give away all my money to the poor and see what happens ???
4. Give away stuff - most of it - declutter the Jesus way .
5. Become a Veggie to detach myself from the oppressive and injust meat industry.
6. More to follow ...
Hey Steve
I'm just about to start reading this book - it's been in a large pile of books that i've been meaning to read for ages. people have been raving about this for a while so will have to see what it's like, hopefully as good as people say!!

Jonesy, have you read Ched Myers' book The Biblical Vision of Sabbath Economics? It's not very long - but is truly inspirational on the sort of stuff you're engaging with right now, but on a community level rather than the purely personal?
Next time you're in North Cornwall come and have a coffee/surf/whatever. Be good to see you.
