This short book discusses a variety of ways to stand against violence in your normal life. Beginning with ourselves first, a few basic practices are outlined. These habits lay the foundation for a more challenging personal discipline. Then we take our personal practices out on the road and into the places where we live and work. Normal relationships, raising children, growing families and our communities are all environments where we can stand against violence and where we find others that share the practice. Next, the violence that face cities, countries and the planet is viewed through the lens of the gravity of the problems and the myriad of hopeful and powerful responses. Nonviolence is needed in this moment.
