Economics of Rebirth

(a) “The reality of divine multiplication is realized only when we allow ourselves to be dependent on God and live in radical interdependence with one another” (p 180).

What am I depending on for security, happiness and fulfillment? How well is it working? What is God depending on me to do? Why do so many of us crave independence? Given that independence is a complete myth, what can I do to embrace interdependence today? How can I play my part well?

Some of my favorite stories in the whole book are in this chapter—Jubilee on Wall Street, Indian kids sharing ice cream, Mother Teresa’s feet, neighbors who trade cars for food, and the family who takes in the pregnant lady. Classics.
