We are very happy to announce that Rory’s newest book is printing and will be available very soon! The Family Economy: Discovering the Family as It Was Designed to Work is our attempt to give families a practical starting point (and plenty of inspiration) to begin building their own home economies.

From Rory:
I wrote The Family Economy because I wanted something concise and practical that I could put into people’s hands. Something that both introduces the concept and gives actionable advice on how to get started. This book is the culmination of years of teaching, writing, and studying how to build a more durable future. I truly believe the answer to our society’s most pressing problems can only come from families, and it can only start at home.

Pre-order your copy today and get a hefty discount off the retail price!

    We purchased this book after finding ya’ll through Durable Trades. It is an inspiring and easy to read book that gets to the point and leaves us feeling like actionable steps towards a home economy and family centered life are possible and within our reach. We’ve been slowly moving that way our whole marriage, but this book and ministry are helpful reminders and tools to keep us moving forward. Thank you!
