They hear of a Christian intentional community in New York whose values and lifestyle seem too good to be true. They are intrigued enough to travel across the world with their two young boys to see for themselves.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Bruderhof, the Parks find, really is an upside-down country. Elsewhere, well-educated, capable, wealthy, and healthy people are valued, but here the sick and weak receive more love. There are smart and capable people here as well, but that isn't as important. Whether you're a CEO, doctor, lawyer, accountant, teacher, electrician, plumber, carpenter, farmer, factory worker, or cleaner, are all brothers and sisters, none is paid, and each is needed. Is it possible to become free from the power of money by laying down one's possessions and sharing them? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this rare glimpse into a unique community, Sunghoon Park recounts adventures and misadventures from his family's first years as members of the Bruderhof. Weaving personal anecdotes to illustrate the community's beliefs, history, and traditions, he gives a cultural outsider's description of the group's daily life that is both candid and humorous. This book is an excellent introduction to the Bruderhof community, as well as a valuable reflection on how churches might bring their values more in line with the gospel. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sunghoon Park\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1636082009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781636082004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Plough Publishing House\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/11\/2027\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Sunghoon Park","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":50665672245503,"sku":"9781636082004","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a8e746ef-50cf-4da9-a6a5-ab1b141cc44e.jpg?v=1792013199","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/landing-upside-down-sunghoon-park-9781636082004","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
