This full sized coffee-table style volume is a delight to browse through and an impressively informative, beautifully illustrated, inspired, and inspiring history that is especially and unreservedly recommended for personal, community, and academic library collections.

Celebrating a century of Christian communal living, this oversized volume is filled with photo-essays describing the lives and contributions of past and present residents of the Bruderhof. . . . Photographer Danny Burrows illustrates ten chapters with images of society participants organized by the goals of this movement . . . showing how they work for a purpose, seek peace, share their faith, practice charity, and work together in sickness and health. . . . A laudable centennial presentation for this community that also serves to introduce this group to the general public.

This beautifully produced book, sure to draw in the spiritually curious, is a centenary celebration of the Bruderhof, told via testimonials by members from communities around the world.... The accounts all share a sense of having come home, and of finding peace in not having to prove one's worth or achieve material success. Photographs are vivid and beautifully composed; some pop with vitality; others are respectful windows into another world. A timeline of Bruderhof history and a world map of their communities complete this lovely book.
