How Jesus Confronts The Culture Of Death And Invites Us Into The New Life Of Peace
BY JOHN DEAR The raising of Lazarus in John's Gospel is one of the most dramatic and poignant episodes in scripture. While traditionally read as a story about friendship and faith, Dear shows through his extended meditations how this story summarizes the persistent theme of the Gospel. If Lazarus represents humanity, the story of his raising is about the God of Life confronting the power of death itself, calling humanity to walk out of the tombs of death--the culture of violence and war--and into "the new life of resurrection peace".

One Man's Struggle For A Nonviolent World
BY JOHN DEAR A Persistent Peace, John Dear's autobiography, invites readers to follow the decades-long journey and spiritual growth of this nationally known peace activist, and to witness his bold, decisive, often unpopular actions before government officials, military higher-ups, and even hostile representatives of the Church. With heroes such as Martin Luther King, Jr., Mahatma Gandhi, and Nelson Mandela, it should come as no surprise that John's activism has taken him to many places including war zones all over the world.

Challenging Ourselves To Discover Life's Great Answers
BY JOHN DEAR The Gospels are filled with stories that trace Jesus' life and his teachings. A close reading reveals that they are also filled with questions. Like any great teacher Jesus has a question for every one he meets, for every occasion, for every experience. Using these questions as a starting point, John Dear invites readers to discover the lessons by searching their own hearts and minds for answers. Dear weaves insights from ethical and religious teachers ranging from Buddha to Martin Luther King, Jr. Using recent events as powerful examples, the author shows why a renewed commitment to Jesus' message of nonviolence, justice, and peace is essential to healing a world torn by violence and war.
