He did not believe in God, but he believed in \"love and truth and compassion.\" John replied that those are all names for God, and they agreed that they would speak of Universal Love. From this beginning, John discovered a new understanding of spirituality, and his own life of peacemaking as an exercise in \"surrendering to the God of Peace.\" In short reflections, he outlines what this means, offers practical exercises, and shows how this might lead us more deeply into the meaning of discipleship in a world of violence and conflict.\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUS$20.00\u003cbr\u003eRELIGION \/ Spirituality\u003cbr\u003eRELIGION \/ Peace\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohn Dear\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eUNIVERSAL LOVE\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSurrendering to the God of Peace\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e ISBN 978-1-62698-651-0 Orbis logo Cover design: Ponie Sheehan \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRev.
