Book Recommendation: Joseph R. Myers, Organic Community: Creating a place where people naturally connect. Grand Rapids: Baker Books, 2007
In our highly mobile and fragmented living the challenge to create community remains a daunting one. Joseph Myers provides some fresh perspectives on this important topic, arguing that we need to move n our thinking from master plan to organic order. Creating community has more to do with fostering an environment than with imposing a structure. Highly recommended.
