'(This book) offers an important, radical, practically-oriented message from which contemporary Christians - especially those in the affluent West - could greatly benefit. Its purpose is simple: to rediscover the importance of the monastic tradition for contemporary communal, practical, socially activist Christian living - The work is a reminder that monasticism need not mean separation or escapism. Rather, it can be construed in forms which mean passionate commitment to others, on the basis of a firm foundation in theologically informed, intentional communal living.' Clive Marsh in Modern Believing, April 2012
