Banned in Russia, Tolstoy's The Kingdom of God Is Within You was deemed a threat to church and state. The culmination of a lifetime's thought, it espouses a commitment to Jesus's message of turning the other cheek. In a bold and original treatise, Tolstoy shows his readers clearly why they must reject violence of any sort—even that sanctioned by the state or the church—and urges them to look within themselves to find the answers to questions of morality.

In 1894, one of the first English translations of this book found its way into the hands of a young Gandhi. Inspired by its message of nonresistance to evil, the Mahatma declared it a source of "independent thinking, profound morality, and truthfulness". Much of this work's emotional and moral appeal lies in its emphasis on fair treatment of the poor and working class. Its view of Christianity, not as a mystic religion but as a workable philosophy originating from the words of a remarkable teacher, extends its appeal to secular and religious listeners alike.

Tolstoy does a wonderful job putting perspective on the intricacies of Christ’s teachings versus the practice of his teachings. It’s still applicable and thought provoking over 100 years later.

There is no doubt that “The Kingdom of God is Within You” seeks to answer the age old questions of men since the beginning of time. Tolstoy was against violence meaning he believed all Christians should disavow all kinds of violence, including military service and defense. He makes some very valid points. Violence begets violence and this is essentially his point. And typically non believers seek power through violent means. All of his questions and viewpoints feel as if they were written today. Malk Williams narration is superb.

Not what I thought at all. Read with caution and compare with scripture. Also super monotone
