• Bloody Theater or Martyr's Mirror of the Defenseless Christians by Thieleman Van Braght

Think of this volume as exciting spiritual archaeology. Through those pages, you can look into the past, into the hearts of thousands who approached God differently, who approached the world differently, who approached their salvation differently, than perhaps anyone you've ever met. Even the spiritual heirs of these Anabaptists are usually troubled by the contrast between these lives and their own. As one 16th century woman said before giving her life at the stake, "What would you do for your faith? not much, I think. Hence repent, before you are brought to shame." They don't make people like that anymore, but God can.
• Small is Beautiful: Economics As If People Mattered; E. F. Schumacher

Small is Beautiful is the perfect antidote to the economics of globalization. As relevant today as when it was first published, this is a landmark set of essays on humanistic economics. This 25th anniversary edition brings Schumacher's ideas into focus for the end-of-the-century by adding commentaries by contemporary thinkers who have been influenced by Schumacher. They analyze the impact of his philosophy on current political and economic thought. Small is Beautiful is the classic of common-sense economics upon which many recent trends in our society are founded. This is economics from the heart rather than from just the bottom line. Author E. F. Schumacher (1911-1977) was a Rhodes Scholar in economics and the head of planning at the British Coal Board. He was also the president of the Soil Association and the founder of the Intermediate Technology Development Group.

• The Unsettling of America : Culture & Agriculture; Wendell Berry
The mid-20th-century environmental crisis that led to important protective legislation in the 1970s, is, to poet/farmer Wendell Berry's mind, also a crisis of character, agriculture, and culture. Because Americans are divorced from the land, they mistreat it; because they are divorced from each other, they mistreat those around them. Berry, writing in a prophetic mode, argues that if Americans are to heal the environmental wounds their land has suffered, they will also need to create more meaningful work, sustain happier and healthier lives, and return to what conservatives call "family values." The Unsettling of America is a quarter century old now, but most of its arguments remain current. Berry's assessment of modern agriculture and its relationship to American culture--our health, economy, personal relationships, morals, and spiritual values--is more timely than ever. This new edition of Berry's work presents a a classic testament to the value of the American family farm. read more
