<p>There are few books on the market that share not only a vision of Jesus' nonviolence, but also ways of living that same nonviolence today. Who better to write such a work than Father John Dear, an internationally known peacemaker?</p><p><em>Put Down Your Sword</em> invites us into Jesus' way of nonviolence, as presented by the gospels.
