Life from Our Land, by Marcus Grodi (Paperback)

Rediscover the beauty of simplicity with Life from Our Land by Marcus Grodi, a profound and inspiring book that invites readers to reflect on the search for a simpler, more meaningful life in an increasingly complex world. Published by Ignatius Press, this paperback is perfect for adults seeking spiritual growth and deeper connections through personal reflection and faith.

Grodi shares his heartfelt journey of leaving behind the chaos of modern life to embrace the peace and lessons found in rural living. With wisdom rooted in theology, prayer, and spirituality, this book offers practical insights for cultivating a life of purpose, faith, and harmony with God’s creation.

Voices from every direction beckon us, even push us, toward better and faster technology, with the promise of more wealth, more pleasure, and, consequently, more happiness. But have we become so bewitched by the siren song of material progress that we've lost the ability not just to achieve, but to discern what true happiness is? What criteria do we use to plan for the future, for retirement? At the end of our earthly lives, how will we measure our fruitfulness?

In this book Marcus Grodi discusses what he and his family discovered, mostly by surprise, after moving from the city to twenty-five acres of Ohio farmland. This move involved a radical shift in priorities for all of them, but mostly it helped them to discover some critical truths about our relationship to nature and to nature's Creator that apply regardless of where a person lives. He offers wonderful reflections on his going-back-to-the-land experience as a metaphor for drawing closer to God.

Whether you’re exploring family spirituality, engaging in Bible study, or seeking theological enrichment, Life from Our Land is a treasure for anyone yearning to reconnect with what truly matters. Lightweight and easy to carry, it’s ideal for quiet moments of reflection at home, church, or amidst nature.
