Rumours of a Better Country: Searching for trust and community in a time of moral outrage
By Marsh Moyle
()
About this ebook
Rumours of a Better Country addresses our hunger for a better way of living by awakening a vision of trust and a trusting community. Drawing on the ancient wisdom of the Decalogue, it demonstrates how the freedom to trust and the call to trustworthiness are the most fulfilling of freedoms.
From the author's chance encounter with the Palestinian Liberation Organization in a pub in Communist Czechoslovakia, to the questions and mysteries of Café Now and Not Yet, and to the ancient slopes of Mount Sinai, Rumours of a Better Country takes us on a rich and provocative journey into the heart of goodness and why it matters.
