    With Justice and Mercy, Simply and Clearly, Let Us Live out Our Christian Worldview
  

*by H***K on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 2, 2011*

Writing in 1979, shortly before her untimely death, Doris Janzen Longacre "knew then what many people are just now discovering: living with less can bring more joy and contentment than living with a lot." Unfortunately, in the thirty years that have passed since the first edition of Live More With Less, most of our culture's trends have gone exactly against this philosophy. The go-go years of the 90s and early 00s led only to more and more consumption, larger houses, more clothes (did you know that census data shows Americans bought 75% more clothing in 2005 than in 1995?), and on and on.With the changed economic climate of the past couple of years, perhaps there is no better time than now to read through and act upon the many good thoughts in this challenging book. Christians in North America especially should find much to ponder, pray about, and then act upon, both personally and as congregational groups.This edition includes large sections of the 1980 text unchanged, but adds in a large number of essays and comments from Mennonites and others with suggestions for living "more with less" even, or especially, in the 21st century. Here you will find idea starters, suggestions, and examples of how many Christians around the world have been able to "live more with less" and have found great joy and fulfillment in the process.Definitely something to be considered for anyone seeking to live out their Christian faith winsomely and wisely.

    Still Relevant Today
  

*by M***W on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 21, 2019*

This is an excellent book that covers so much more than the trendy minimalism or Toss-It-If-It-Doesn’t-Spark-Joy ideas that are so popular now. Ideas like buy fewer things in the first place, live simply so you can use your resources to help others, the importance of valuing relationships over making more money, being careful to purchase from companies that don’t exploit their workers, etc.This book is 30 years old, but despite some of the info being somewhat dated (this is pre-internet, pre-cell phones, pre-Amazon order everything at the click of a button) the book is excellent.As an aside, this book is written from a Mennonite (very conservative Christian) viewpoint. Loving God and serving others is mentioned often. I’m delighted by this, but I know that others might not be.

    Helpful Handbook for Simplifying the Hectic Demands of Modern Life
  

*by T***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 21, 2017*

My first association with Doris Longacre's work was her More-with-Less Cookbook (1976), which isn't really as much a cookbook as it is "suggestions by Mennonites on how to eat better and consume less of the world's limited food resources" (Front Cover). My copy is from the 28th printing (February 1982) which suggests people were responding to Longacre's basic message that not only do we have a responsibility to conserve the world's resources, there are countless ways to do just that.Living More With Less (1980) follows the same format as her cookbook in that it compiles testimonials from a global community for sharing how others deal with scarce resources proactively, positively, and meaningfully using five basic values to situate her message: Do Justice, Learn from the World Community, Nurture People, Cherish the Natural Order, and Nonconform Freely. This is a helpful handbook for putting those values into practical application. I love it!
