Circle of Love

John Shenk, a young Mennonite man, gratefully accepts his exemption from military duty and walks into a world he is ill-prepared to face. He finds it exciting, more complicated than he thought, and finally crushing. Such is the experience of the wayward. Woven together are the personal accountability of John Shenk and the collective accountability of his church community. No one can read this book and be unmoved.
