John Dear: A Persistent Peace

John Dear, Nobel Peace Prize Nominee, activist and author, will be sharing his autobiography "A Persistent Peace: One Man's Struggle for a Nonviolent World." He invites readers to follow the decades-long journey of spiritual growth and activism. He has been arrested more than 75 times and spent more than a year in jail. From his conversion to Christianity, to his calling to become a Jesuit, to the extreme dangers and delights of a life dedicated to truly living out the radical, forgiving love of Jesus, Dear's incredible story will touch anyone who believes in the power of peace. With heroes such as Martin Luther King, Jr., Mahatma Gandhi, and Nelson Mandela, John's activism has taken him all over the world.
