Born into a military family and raised in the American Bible Belt, he was shaped by a violent past of drugs and crime. Though he was exposed to evangelical Christianity, he did not encounter Jesus as the Prince of Peace until he began examining Jesus' words for himself. What he discovered changed not only his life, but the life of his church.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn these pages, readers will encounter how Jesus confronted violence--not by wielding coercive power, but by laying down his life. Through self-giving love of enemies, the Prince of Peace waged war on war itself and inaugurated a radically different way of peace. Written especially for Christians who love Jesus yet have rarely heard nonviolence named as a central tenant of discipleship, The Unarmed Truth offers a pastoral, Scripture-rooted invitation to examine our faith, culture, and inherited assumptions. Embracing the unarmed truth of Jesus' peaceable kingdom is not only possible but transformative--including in Southern evangelical \"God and guns\" culture.","brand":"Koorong","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52696015569183,"sku":"9781513817033","price":34.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/koorong.com\/products\/the-unarmed-truth-following-the-prince-of-peace-in-a-world-of-violence-678514","provider":"Koorong","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
