All of us say we want peace, but only a few are willing to prove it.John Dear, SJ, has been arrested more than seventyfive times. He has spent more than a year of his life in jail. He has been mocked by an armed and angry U.S. National Guard battalion standing outside the doors to his New Mexico parish. All this because he so fervently believes in peace.A Persistent Peace, John Dears autobiography, invites readers to follow the decadeslong journey and spiritual growth of this nationally known peace activist, and to witness his bold, decisive, often unpopular actions before government officials, military higherups, and even representatives of the Church.From his conversion to Christianity, to his calling to become a Jesuit, to the extreme dangers and delights of a life dedicated to truly living out the radical, forgiving love of Jesus, Dears incredible story will touch the heart of anyone who believes in the power of peace and the possibility of a world where love conquers all.Praise for John Dear and A Persistent Peace Once more, and in a plenary way, we are blessed by the eloquence and moral passion of John Dear. . . .
