Universal Love: Surrendering to the God of Peace - by John Dear (Paperback)

About the Book

"How to live a life of peace and nonviolence by surrendering every day to God, or Universal Life"-- Provided by publisher.

Book Synopsis

This book arose from a young man's request that John serve as his spiritual director. He did not believe in God, but he believed in "love and truth and compassion." John replied that those are all names for God, and they agreed that they would speak of Universal Love. From this beginning, John discovered a new understanding of spirituality, and his own life of peacemaking as an exercise in "surrendering to the God of Peace." In short reflections, he outlines what this means, offers practical exercises, and shows how this might lead us more deeply into the meaning of discipleship in a world of violence and conflict.
