"Alternatives for Simple Living has done it again, bringing together two of the most important voices the 21st Century church has to offer. Tony Campolo and Shane Claiborne, two of my dearest friends, are modern day prophets from different generations echoing the radical message of Jesus of Nazareth-a message still transforming lives and changing the world over 2000 years later. This is a conversation you do NOT want to miss.

"Don't die rich, party with poor folks, question the charity mentality. These prickly gospel messages somehow sound attractive as Tony and Shane banter back and forth. They talk about difficult compromises and bold actions: gardens in empty inner city lots, a wedding in a derelict church building, an open door policy for the homeless. This video should challenge anybody with a heart."

"The ocean of self-indulgent consumerism is about to overwhelm us with commodities that crush our humanness. In such an ocean of goods, Campolo and Claiborne constitute an island of sanity and realism. Breaking the addiction of consumer Christmas and focusing on the reality of human interaction is a tall order. The testimony of this disk is a powerful resource in the move toward well-being. Their witness is as welcome and eloquent as the issue is urgent."
-- Walter Brueggemann, Columbia Theological Seminary
"The video $imply Enough is unique in its kind. Repeatedly, one finds in it challenging and refreshing new insights into old biblical texts. It calls us to responsible action, and poses some very radical challenges, but it does this in a way that is loving and hopeful, while also offering concrete examples of such responsible action. I find it theologically sound, intellectually enlightening, and morally engaging."
-- Justo L. Gonzalez, Hispanic Theologian, Seminary Professor (retired), Author of The Story of Christianity, History of Christian Thought and numerous other books
"Tony Campolo has been the leading prophetic voice in the American church for the past 30 years calling Christians of all generations to live more justly. Shane Claiborne represents a new prophetic generation that wants to authentically follow Jesus in a world by making poverty history and reducing our carbon footprint. View this DVD and Tony and Shane will help you learn about practical, creative ways you can live more simply in ways that make a real difference for our poorest neighbors and God’s good creation."
-- Tom Sine, Author, The Mustard Seed Conspiracy and The New Conspirators: Creating the Future One Mustard Seed at a Time
"$imply Enough is indeed straight talk about simpler, just living. I can scarcely think of better speakers for the cause than Tony Campolo and Shane Claiborne. This is the most effective video in memory promoting Christian voluntary simplicity, especially for young adults. It's profound and humorous in turn, full of touching stories, compelling testimonials and prophetic music. Watch it! Share it! Study it! Act on it!"
