My Monks of Vagabondia

In a time before welfare and rehabilitation programs, what became of those who fell through societys cracks? Andress Floyd and his wife, Lillian, answered this call in 1908 by transforming a mansion in New Jersey into a sanctuary for homeless men. Over three decades, the refuge, known as the Self-Mastery Colony, welcomed more than 100,000 men seeking a path back to stability and purpose. This volume presents 13 poignant true stories that illuminate the struggles and journeys of those who sought solace and enlightenment within its walls. Join us as we explore the resilience of the human spirit through these inspiring narratives, narrated by Lynne Thompson.
