This ebook is an extended "fireside chat" from Ira Zepp in which he reflects on agape (love for others) and ahimsa (non-injury), the roots of nonviolence, and offers several stories about approximations to peace. There is also some of Ira's social gospel theology here, in very accessible language. The book concludes with a real chat between Ira and his friend Bill Holmes, taken from their email correspondence just after 9/11. You will like this book if you are interested in peacemaking and in the eternal tensions among violence, nonviolence, and pacifism. - Co-author Charles Collyer
