History & Biography

Foreword

(wrote the foreword)

Personal Nonviolence

Christian Living

“I cannot exaggerate my enthusiasm for Dr. Gerard Vanderhaar's posthumous book providing 'a practical spirituality for peacemakers.' As followers of Jesus, we are called to wage peace on every level of life--from the personal to the international. Dr. Vanderhaar will inspire you to do it and show you the way.”

Seizing the Nonviolent Moments

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“At a time when church teaching has once again embraced Jesus's radical rejection of all violence, most Christians still struggle to follow Him. With her deep insights from Scripture, prayerful reflections and challenging questions, Nancy Small enables us to 'seize the nonviolent moments' of everyday life as a path to profound conversion. On this path, readers of the book will now sing with new awareness and new hope, 'Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me.'”

The God of Peace

Theology

“John Dear has lived the 'Peace of God' for many years. This book offers the theological and spiritual foundation for such a life. It may be the book that will convince all believers that our God is a God of nonviolence and peace. In our violent world, there is no more important message.”

The Jesuit Martyrs of El Salvador

History & Biography

“It is a grace to read this book. Never have I felt so deeply the presence of these martyrs . . . . This book offers us all a chance for deeper conversion and renewed commitment to what these martyrs died for.”
