Christ Speaks about Peace: His message for today

If we are following the Prince of Peace, Why are we still at War? If you ask this question, this book is for you. You'll see key gospel passages and learn how they apply to violence and war today. That's like listening to Jesus talk about peacemaking in our time. Even if you don't belong to a church, this book can be helpful. You'll gain wonderful insights from the world's most remarkable teacher of peace. Hear his vision of peace in the Sermon on the Mount, learn how the Prince of Peace was revealed, see how he exposed the fallacy of 'redemptive violence', ponder his teaching on love, visualize his contribution to peace in his acceptance of the cross and hear the challenge to militarism in the letters of Paul. There are chapters on the persistent obstacles to peace today-mistakes about the 'end times, ' the temptation of imperial power and the infectious presence of the 'combat myth' in movies, TV, video games and political rhetoric. Learn how you can help with the heaven-sent plan to bring peace
