Produktbeschreibung

Dedicating your life to social justice is a worthy endeavor. But how do you sustain the challenging work amid the inevitable challenges and setbacks? In this book, social reformer Joe Colletti provides direction for aspiring urban monks by drawing on decades of on-the-ground experience working toward solving social struggles, as well as his own journey creating an integrated "rule of life" to spiritually guide his lifelong work. Chapter by chapter, he sets you up for an intentional life of involvement in social reform, coaching you on how to choose your social struggle, select the spiritual principles and practices that will make up your own unique integrated rule of life, and merge your spiritual and secular efforts. Equal parts pragmatism and mysticism, The Way of the Urban Monk offers practical wisdom and soulful guidance for those committed to helping end seemingly intractable social injustices, enabling them to serve more effectively and from a place of spiritual wholeness.
