Letters from the Farm: A Simple Path for a Deeper Spiritual Life

Becca Stevens extolls the power of love in this inspirational collection of letters.

Letters from the Farm describes a faith that strives for justice and peace through loving our neighbors. It began with the simple hope that love can help in the community. That hope led to a social enterprise called Thistle Farm and that led to learning that we reap a hundredfold the seeds that are sown into a loving community.

Accompanying each letter is a verse of Scripture and some questions for reflection so that this book can be used as a devotional guide, as well as a piece to inspire you in your faith and life.

"Becca Stevens has written a beautiful book demonstrating the power of God's healing love."-Jane Shaw, Dean for Religious Life and Professor of Religious Studies, Stanford University
