Praise for Personal Nonviolence: A Practical Spirituality for Peacemakers

Many of us work hard to stop war, injustice and nuclear weapons. we're often not so good at radiating peace to those around us. Gerry Vanderhaar's book will help us all go deeper into the practice of inner nonviolence and personal peace. I hope this book will be read and studied by all Pax Christi groups and members so that together we become better practitioners of personal nonviolence, people who radiate the peace of Christ, and like Gerry Vanderhaar, teachers of peace to a culture of war.  - John Dear, Pax Christi USA Ambassador of Peace, author of The Questions of Jesus, Disarming the Heart, Living Peace, and The God of Peace.

Dr. Vanderhaar's unmatched love for peace and nonviolence is beautifully expressed in this book. It is a book that everyone needs to read so that we may become the change we wish to see in this world. - Arun Gandhi, Founder/President, M.K. Gandhi Institute of Nonviolence, Memphis, TN

I cannot exaggerate my enthusiasm for Dr. Gerard Vanderhaar's posthumous book providing 'a practical spirituality for peacemakers'. As followers of Jesus, we are called to WAGE PEACE on every level of life - from the personal to the international. Dr. Vanderhaar will inspire you to do it and show you the way. - Bishop Thomas J. Gumbleton, Pax Christi USA Ambassador of Peace
