I gave this to my best friend a year ago, because he's the best man I know in terms of his commitment to doing good in the world. The blurb states that these two brief essays show 'the theological roots of his political and social philosophy of nonviolent activism', but I found it a bit hard to tease that out. However, I did find more to grasp onto in the second essay, 'The dimensions of a complete life': our life is incomplete unless we embody love of self, love of others and love of God. Good stuff.
