Peace and Nonviolence (Quotations from)

This is a must-read book. It is in my top 10 recommended. Guinan, a life long human rights worker has a divinely inspired book here. His selection of essays from the great nonvilent revolutionaries of our day is indespensible. Get it. Read it. Do it.

And because the dozens and dozens of great souls throughout history, what they learned and embodied, all points me to his teachings and example. For the collective joyful life of it.
