“Karin Holsinger Sherman has written a beautiful exposition of my books. By identifying an underlying, nonviolent 'question of being,' she has united their themes in a deeply perceptive way. I am grateful to her for her work.”
History & Biography
“This moving story raises profound questions: Can we deny God's presence in any enemy? What does it mean to carry out Jesus' command to love the enemy in the context of a nation carrying out demonic policies? And how should the church act today in a national security state whose weapons and policies threaten the world? Barth's depiction of the Bruderhof's life and trials in Nazi Germany offers inspiration and hope for our own, equally profound questions of Christian discipleship.”

“Flynn has eyes that see, ears that hear, and words that open our inner senses to the lives of others, especially people like Opal in jail, the Beggar Bowl Woman in the desert, Sister Louise who shines, Michael on his soap box, and the military police officer who loosens handcuffs. Grace is everywhere in these pages. Blessed is the writer who brings otherwise overlooked souls into our own hearts.”
Theology
“In this magnificent finale to the trilogy, Walter Wink engages the Powers with brilliant exegesis and a profoundly creative nonviolence, revealing the way to the Powers' and our own transformations. Wink on the Powers is a classic resource for activist and scholar alike.”

Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Dan Berrigan has given us a prophetic interpretation of the story of a people's liberation from slavery, contagious violence, and the shocking actions of an ambiguous god. Berrigan has lived out a nonviolent exodus from our own pharaohs. His vision parts the waters of empires past and present. This prophet, like Isaiah, sees a divinely given way from the divisive exodus of our spiritual ancestors to the hope of a promised land for everyone.”
History & Biography
“I ask the reader to turn to the first essay, 'Growing Up Catholic.' Such a weaving of our darkness and our light is the character of this grace-filled book. Read, enjoy, and see the darkness and the light as one.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“Here is a prophetic poet whose voice cries out against our collective lies and second-hand convictions. It is a gift to have these transforming prayers collected in a single work. I recommend it highly. In the Land of the Living casts nourishing bread upon the waters.”
Pursuing the Spiritual Roots of Protest
History & Biography
“If Thomas Merton held a retreat in the '60s on the spiritual roots of protest--attended by Daniel Berrigan, John Howard Yoder, A. J. Muste, and ten more great Christian peacemakers--would you want to be there? Gordon Oyer's exhaustively researched, inspiring story of just such a legendary retreat at the Abbey of Gethsemani feels like faith on trial at the edge of the end of the world. Read it and see.”

“Sharon Delgado's Shaking the Gates of Hell integrates prophecy and action. Delgado shows that unless we learn to shake the gates of the corporate hell taking over the planet, its creatures have no future. Yet, through faith-led, nonviolent resistance, the gates of hell can fall, the reign of God can open up. As Delgado's transforming conclusion at a Cancun WTO meeting shows, anything is possible if we have the faith to join the movement and shake those gates.”

“By living in Iraq under U.S. bombs and occupation, Peggy Faw Gish has learned to see with Iraqi eyes. By reading her inspiring story of suffering love, we, too, can learn to see--and be transformed.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“A classic, courageous work drawing on the full resources of the Christian faith in response to Hitler. Ude's voice is today a cry of faith and hope, to a people on the brink of total death, that we shall not kill.”
