Against Bloodshed and Violence
The church has been entrusted with the peace that is characteristic of the love-spirit of the future. Therefore she shows herself in the present too, as justice, peace, and joy in this world.

Battle Lines
As fighters down the ages have found, God is often the first conscript when a country goes to war. How many of them ever stopped to consider His predicament in being called on to back two opposing armies? Writer Eberhard Arnold is one who did.

World Suffering
If we look at world suffering honestly, we will see how closely it is connected with our own guilt and the guilt of all men today. We will also recognize that since this suffering is all one, we are part of it and must suffer with all others who suffer.

Suffering
When we approach the suffering of others by making it our own - we will find that, far from defeating us, it will rouse us to compassion, and community with the poor. Moreover, we will find that through solidarity, their hells, even if not completely overcome, can be seeded with love and hope for the future.

Peace in Personal Life
Many people feel called to take up the cause of peace, but most of them turn back once they realize that they cannot bring it to others unless they experience it themselves. Unable to find harmony in their own lives, they soon come to the end of their rope.

God's Revolution
Eberhard Arnold doesn't approach discipleship as a benign route to religious fulfillment, but as revolution - a transformation that begins within and spreads outward to encompass every aspect of life. Here is the raw reality of the gospel that has the power to change the world.

Seeking Peace
Explores many facets of humankind's ageless search for peace. Arnold plumbs a wealth of spiritual traditions and draws on the wisdom of some exceptional (and some very ordinary) people who have found peace in surprising places.

The Hidden Christ
How are Christians to bring the gospel to the world? After centuries of misguided crusades, how can we rediscover mission as Jesus understood it? Must peoples embrace Christianity to know Christ and his liberation?

One man moved the boulders that blocked the stream.

To judge from Bob Hope, God must have a great sense of humor.

You've heard of laughing to the bank. But joyfully throwing "everything" away?
