A great book to read for reflection or in a group. There are questions, urgent ones, to ask ourselves. I especially loved John's writing style which is so immediate. An engaging book, not overwhelming, despite the topic. ( )

This short reflection/discussion of nonviolent living is an instant classic. If you are interested in growing in nonviolence, "The Nonviolent Life" is also an excellent manual for doing so and a source book for reflection and meditation. ( )
