Story5 out of 5 stars 123
Anyone who prays or has tried to pray and given up in discouragement knows praying, really praying, is not easy. Praying consistently seems almost impossible. Too often and too easily, prayer becomes a burden: one more item on an already overcrowded to-do list. Failing to pray becomes a source of guilt and stress as we must once again admit our inconstancy and procrastination to our father confessor. The purpose of this audiobook, then, is not to add to the burden, but to ease it by distilling the advice and experience of those who pray.

No book has made prayer more desirable or more attainable than this book. Every word is gold. The author wastes no words. Not a minute of reading will be wasted.

How did violence and power seep into our understanding of faith and grace? For those troubled by this trend toward the sword, perhaps there is a better way. What if the message of Jesus differs radically from the drumbeats of war we hear all around us? Using his own journey from war crier to peacemaker and his in-depth study of peace in the Scriptures, author and pastor Brian Zahnd reintroduces us to the gospel of peace.

Convincing But Incomplete
Reviewed: 03-23-18
I found this book's message against violence convincing. Zahnd opens up many biblical passages in new ways I've never considered before. For all this, the book deserves 5 stars. I only wish he took the time to address common objections to a nonviolent vision. How should Christians have responded to Hitler and WWII? How can a nation begin implementing peacemaking policies? What should the common Christian do about this today? Still, if you like me wonder where war fits in a Jesus-shaped life, this book will be eye-opening.
