Some definitions can be in place what kind of community life is being considered here? Christian describes intentional communities as a group of people who have made an active choice to live with each other or near enough to share a specific lifestyle. This book is an overview of the process of creating a life together, and it contains loads of useful information for those who are deliberating that path.
Her approach to the subject is from the point that only approximately ten percent of projects and communities that gets initiated survive to become stable long term settlements, and from her broad understanding of what goes into community, she presents the biggest necessities and challenges communities will face - spanning from internal tensions to tax legislation for non-profit organizations - in clearly structured chapters, with a sober perspective and plenty of examples from failed and flourishing communities. The book, Creating A Life Together - Practical tools to grow ecovillages and intentional communities, is a guide by Diana Leafe Christian who has spent several years visiting, investigating, writing about and living in communities. I picked it up, leaned back and read to the fading light of the day.
Searching through the shelves in the Free and Real library one afternoon, my eye got hold of one title that stood out among the mostly Greek literature and scattered English novels.
