A work promoting the various efforts undertaken by the Koinonia Partners group in an effort to establish and promote communal and integrated living, drawing on Christian teachings.

Through these efforts people gained self-sufficiency and worked as part of a greater community. Also included is a precursor to the Habitat for Humanity effort, in which the Koinonia Partners helped build affordable housing for those in need. Koinonia was founded in 1942 in by Clarence and Florence Jordan and Martin and Mabel England, hoping to created an integrated community of Black and white people. The community faced violence and threats from the Ku Klux Klan during the 1950s and 60s, and partly countered these threats by creating a mail order nut business with the slogan "Help us ship the nuts out of Georgia!"
