A Wider Horizon: The Primavera Journals of Ray Sabin

In the early 1950s, Ray Sabin left the Unitarian ministry and moved with his family to the Bruderhof, an intentional religious community in Paraguay. The journals he left behind trace his meandering path from well-paid Chicago utility worker to failed minister to skeptical enthusiast of Christian communal living. His search for meaning tested his faith, his marriage, and the very definition of an authentic life. Click here to read an excerpt.
