Discover Faith-Forming Practices for Everyday Radicals

The Year of Small Things explores the yearlong experiment of two young families to implement twelve small practices of radical faith--things like simplicity, sustainability, and hospitality to the poor--not waiting until they were out of debt or the kids were out of diapers or God sent them elsewhere, but right now. The authors invite you to think about embarking on your own year of small but radical changes, right where you are.
