A Simple Life, In his old age, Roland Walls stood in awe admiring a tiny flower beside the path - ´isn´t it beautiful? Just sitting there. Not drawing attention to itself. Just being itself.´ Hearing these words, the author applied them in his mind to the Community of the Transfiguration...This tiny, humble contemplative religious Community, founded by the much-loved Roland Walls in Roslin near Edinburgh, achieved its far-reaching international and ecumenical influence by embodying a simple mode of ´Being´ in a world where most people are extremely busy ´Doing´. Through the story of the Community´s origins and its 50 years of existence, the author explores how, in an era when Europe has been shedding its religious faith, and the historic churches have been in decline, this tiny Christian community has been inspirational testimony to the relevance of religious faith in the 21st century. Packed with very human stories, this book is, in itself, a page-turning record of a fascinating phenomenon. But this is no pious and sentimental account. The book cites the real struggles and success of attempts to live the Christian life in a post-Christian society. Taschenbuch, 25.11.2014.

BRAND NEW, A Simple Life: Roland Walls & the Community of the Transfiguration, John Miller, For 50 years, a unique and courageous group of people have quietly opted for a life of poverty and the discipline of prayer. Always with the time and care to understand people's hidden pains, their permanently open meal-table usually rocked with laughter. Drawing exclusively on the memories of the Community's members, their private papers and the reminiscences of those they have known, this book captures a life of humour, tragedy, inspiration and insight. In our increasingly dehumanising culture, the Community's devotion to the details of daily life has had a life-changing impact on many people across the world.
