"Walter Wink uses the parables of Jesus and the
background of the parables to help people develop an approach to
non-violence from a Christian perspective in today's violent world.
This is a good book on political tactics based on an ethic of concern
-- a concern for people who can use the lessons of the Christian
testament to work for peace. 'Jesus and Nonviolence' is a good primer
for anyone, from any walk of life, on the political activity and how
to implement change in an increasingly violent society."
"In 'Blessed are the Peacemakers', poet and
essayist Wendell
Berry

into a 68-page volume, which also includes two essays by Berry to
introduce the book and provide context. Berry, a leading contemporary
American author, has provided with 'Blessed are the Peacemakers' a
book of inspiration and a compassionate call for action and change."
