John Dear 
Praise Be Peace [EPUB ebook] 
Psalms of Peace and Nonviolence in a Time of War and Climate Change

In a violent world, and amid the reality of catastrophic climate change, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Where can we turn to find the courage and inspiration, we need to stay hopeful and to keep working for peace? International peace activist Fr. John Dear has always found support and comfort in the psalms. In this profound and deeply reflective book he helps us see that ‘if we read the psalms from Jesus’ vision of nonviolence, we will find new strength to turn away from hate and anger toward greater trust and devotion to God and newfound wisdom, gratitude, and wonder.’

Filled with stories from his life and steeped in wisdom from both the Eastern and the Western peace traditions, these powerful and prayerful contemplations of thirty-two key psalms will strengthen our daily commitment to nonviolence and love. ‘May these pages, ‘ says Fr. Dear, ‘encourage you on your journey and lead you to even greater blessings of peace.’
