Product Description

Publisher Description
The Christian tradition of nonviolence is needed as an alternative.

Reader Reviews
I carry a copy of this little book with me wherever I go, and I've reread it many times with great enjoyment. This is an essential introduction to the nonviolent way of Jesus for all Christians, including great commentary on relevant biblical passages and invaluable guidance for respecting the dignity of one's "opponents." It makes a super gift. The only lasting way to eliminate an enemy is to make him your friend.
