The book details the life and activities of Nicholas Ferrar and his family, who lived a devout and industrious life at Little Gidding during the reign of King Charles I. It provides insight into their charitable works, religious practices, and the creation of biblical harmonies that attracted royal attention.  The narrative focuses on Nicholas Ferrar's transition from a promising public career to a life dedicated to religious and communal living after he purchased the Little Gidding estate in 1625. Acland describes how Ferrar established a thriving household for family and others, where education, religious devotion, and social welfare were prioritized. The household operated like a small community, with structured daily routines, educational initiatives, and charitable works aimed at helping the local poor. The book also elaborates on the creation of the "Harmonies," intricately compiled biblical texts that aimed to present the Gospels in a unified manner. Despite their contributions to society, the family faced persecution during the changes brought about by the English Civil War, resulting in their eventual displacement.
