Catalyst: "Longing for Enough in a Culture of More" from Abingdon Press, edited by Paul L. Escamilla, 134 pages, paperback, c. 2007, $12
[Source: Abingdon Press] These 25 brief, thoughtful meditations by Paul Escamilla are organized in five topics: The Good Book, The Good Life, The Good Work, The Good Society, and The Good Earth. Whether read privately or with a group, these probing essays invite rather than indict the reader -- making the "life of enough" seem not only possible but a natural next step in ones lives as Christians. A gifted writer, Escamilla leads the reader to anticipate both physical and spiritual relief from saturation and excess. Together the author and the reader search for the secret of escaping the lifestyle and attitudes of "a weighed-down world." A study guide includes questions for reflection or discussion.
