To Live A Truer Life

A Story Of The Hopedale Community

BY LYNN GORDON-HUGHES, ILLUSTRATED BY LINDRO

Brief Description:
The Hopedale Community was founded in 1841 by Adin and Lucy Ballou and others who wanted to try a new way of living, based on their understanding of the teachings of Jesus and the will of God. They called themselves Practical Christians' because they intended to put their religion into practice in their daily lives. The Practical Christians believed in a radical form of non-violence called Christian non-resistance, which rejected not only war and capital punishment, but all authority based on force. This book accompanies a young member of the community as she delivers mail to the diverse inhabitants and witnesses the way that they live their beliefs.
