George Rupp 
The Heart of Community [EPUB ebook] 
A Family Journey

This book is a memoir that explores the journey of one family. It examines how personal experiences interact with institutional settings to shape both individuals and communities. While the focus of the narrative is on the life and work of George Rupp, the telling of that story is inextricably connected with family relationships and also with institutional developments–in particular at Harvard Divinity School, Rice and Columbia Universities, and the International Rescue Committee.
