Living in the Company of Jesus: A Practical, Scripture-Based Guide to Deepening Your Journey within His Nonviolent Kingdom
()
About this ebook
Readers are urged to consider the kingdom as Jesus reveals it, and to heed Pope Francis' revolutionary call to "make active nonviolence our way of life." Clergy and lay people will more deeply appreciate the essential ways in which Jesus' words and actions counter our kingdoms' ubiquitous employment of divisiveness, hatred, vengeance, and violence. Our book helps people act with greater certainty in creatively applying effective solutions to today's pressing problems, based upon Jesus' modeling of loving care and service to all people and creation.
