New Monasticism: What It Has to Say to Today’s Church (Baker) is Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove’s introduction to new monasticism and the gifts it has to offer the church in a time a rapid change. Sam Ewell’s Building Up the Church: Experiments in Faith, Hope, and Love (Wipf and Stock) is an interactive study guide based on Jonathan’s book, designed to lead small groups into an authentic engagement with new monasticism.

We’re excited about the support these materials have already received from people across the spectrum of American Christianity. Evangelical author and preacher Tony Campolo celebrates how they make “the lifestyle of Jesus a realistic possibility in our present age.” Our Franciscan brother, Fr. Richard Rohr, says, “new monasticism is discovering what is always rediscovered–and always bears great life for the gospel.” Phyllis Tickle, an authority on American religion has called the book “rich in personal and historical insights… both beguiling and highly credible.”
