A spiritual movement that came into being in the early years of the twentieth century is in itself already becoming part of history. We can be grateful to Hennie de Pous-de Jonge for this lively, moving and informative book about the development of the Oxford Group – Moral Rearmament, now Initiatives of Change, in her native country of The Netherlands. Her book is not limited to this country by the North Sea, since her compatriots have ventured far and wide to other continents, and have played their part in trying to heal the hurts of her country’s colonial past.
This is a movement that has sought to make an impact on history for the better. Certainly it has marked the lives of many individuals who, in their turn and in their different ways, have indeed left a mark on events large and small. Here are lessons learned, mistakes made, lives changed, situations altered, all through the simple idea that people are both the root of the problem and the root of an answer.
