This interesting book is really all about life style – to live more simply that others may simply live. It’s about sustainability and the spiritual side of life which is so often ignored today. The starting point is the very heart of God – to live as God intended us to live so that there is enough for everyone. There are many people who have contributed to this book and each one brings their own individual ideas.

First the reader is introduced to the live simply challenge, then there is a section on choices and a section on spirituality for the twenty first century. There is a section on sustainable living, on human dignity, and on working for the common good amongst others not mentioned. It concludes with a section called practical tips for living simply which includes a life style check, what we can each do individually about climate change, tips and recipes, food from around the world as well as others that you will be able to read for yourselves if you get this book.

It is a very interesting book which also gives very good down to earth practical advice for those interested in this subject matter.
