In brief and always clear ways the author has envisioned the outlines of a renewed public sphere. He has been practical about the ways in which people of faith might live in it and enhance it. He challenges us to explore the relations between interior search and public involvement. He defines a graceful and balanced vision of the renewal of public life and how the church can contribute to it.

In this award-winning book, Parker J. Palmer offers a compelling vision of a disciplined inward search that strengthens our commitment to our communities. Palmer reminds us that a truly profound spiritual life leads us toward the God who makes us a community.
