Rumours of a Better Country

Searching for Trust and Community in a Time of Moral Outrage

De: Marsh Moyle

Narrado por: Marsh Moyle

Hyper-individualism and consumerism are failing to satisfy our hunger for meaning. We face an identity crisis in which real community is increasingly hard to find. The culture wars have been painful and polarizing and have proved a poor way to agree any kind of moral standards. Is it even possible to find a vision for goodness that can bring us together?

Rumors of a Better Country addresses our hunger for justice and a better way of living by awakening our moral imagination to the potential of a trusting community. Drawing on ancient wisdom and looking through the lens of daily reality, it shows how trust and trustworthiness must be the foundation for any kind of meaningful freedom.

Through the questions and mysteries of the "Café Now and Not Yet", listeners will experience chance encounters with Palestinians in a pub in communist Czechoslovakia, appreciate an intriguing sculpture from Romania and hear post-communist Ukrainians struggling to imagine a better life. Each of these encounters provides a real-life context for a rich and provocative journey into the heart of goodness and why it matters.

Bravo! We all seek something!

Marsh Moyle has put together one of the most thought provoking books I’ve read. We live in an era of moral relativism and as the Book of Judges says in the last verse: Everyone does what they think is right in their own eyes.
This is not the life we were supposed to have or supposed to live. We have a Creator who is outside the creation but who seeks a personal relationship with the created. How would our world be if we treated each other rightly and without evil even if you didn’t believe in God and just lived by the words of the Book. There are rumors of a better country We are exiles just passing through
I met Marsh years ago just as the Wall came down and I spent a week in then Czechoslovakia with him and my brother in law and Edith Schaefer and 40 or 50 or so of Christians who were seeking a new life after the Fall of Communism. I don’t know him well but I know he has written truth from his heart. Great Book!

Outstanding as an Audio Book

Loved the sound effects of the European cafe. It made the book interesting and compelling. Felt more like a theatre production.
