Radical Simplicity Small Footprints on a Finite Earth by Jim Merkel
Imagine you are first in line at a potluck buffet. The spread includes not just food and water, but all the materials needed for shelter, clothing, healthcare, and education. How do you know how much to take? How much is enough to leave for your neighbors behind you—not just the six billion people, but the wildlife and the as-yet- unborn? In the face of looming ecological disaster, many people feel the need to change their own lifestyles as a tangible way of trans- forming our unsustainable culture. Radical Simplicity guides the reader to a personal sustainability goal.

The Irresistible Revolution Living as an Ordinary Radical by Shane Claiborne
Shane Claiborne describes an authentic faith rooted in belief, action, and love, inviting us into a movement of the Spirit that begins inside each of us and extends into a broken world. “For me, The Irresistible Revolution embodies the most exciting, radical potential of what it might mean to truly live the teachings of Jesus in today’s world. Shane Claiborne, a young Christian activist, addresses issues of social and economic justice in a way that is richly spiritual, humorously down-to-earth, and incredibly passionate. This book never fails to energize and challenge me to live my faith in deeper, more authentic ways.” — Kody Hersh
