This book opens a new frontier in understanding nonviolence. Discussions of peace and nonviolence usually focus on either moral theory or practical dimensions of applying nonviolence in conflict situations. Teaching Peace carries the discussion of nonviolence beyond ethics and into the rest of the academic curriculum. This book isn't just for religion or philosophy teachers--it is for all educators. Teaching Peace begins with a discussion rooted in Christian theology, where nonviolence is so central and important. But it is clear that there are other paths to nonviolence, and that one certainly doesn't have to be a Christian to practice nonviolence. The pieces that follow, therefore, show how a nonviolent perspective impacts disciplines across the curriculum--from acting, to biology, to mathematics, to psychology.

This book contains a call from God for us to have intimate fellowship with Him. Too often we try to achieve in the flesh that which can only be accomplished by His Spirit; for all that we are and all that we do should proceed from our relationship with Him. Many will take time off of work and travel long distances to experience the love of God, but few will take time off of work for solitary prayer with no other purpose than to hear His voice (Psalms 27:4). Intimacy with God without Pretense addresses twenty-three facets of Christian life, all with the same focus: to hear His voice, know His will, and feel His heart.
