Nonviolence for the soul. Nonviolence for the world. The future of democracy. How are we going to find our way through all the polarizations to a new world that works for everyone? Against the backdrop of his Quaker heritage and his own life story, Dan Snyder brings together the four disciplines of theology, depth psychology, strategic nonviolence, and spirituality. The resulting conversation points toward a reimagining of God, self, and world. We can be both incredibly joyful and deeply responsible citizens. We can drink from the deep wells of compassion and mercy. Those wells are fed by hidden springs that are beyond fixed ideologies, beyond belief and doubt, beyond action and inaction, even beyond all of our convictions about religious, moral, or political correctness. We are created by Love, for love. We drink deeply from Love's hidden spring when we learn to pray in the dark.
Excerpt from the opening pages: Assurance. HOW you may KNOW you are saved. You may know you are saved, because God says so in His Word. THESE things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God, that ye may know (not hope, or guess) that ye have (not are going to have) eternal life." I John 5:13. BUT as many as received Him (Christ) to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name. John 1:12. I KNOW whom I have believed and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day. II Timothy 1:12. VERILY, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word and believeth on Him that sent me HATH everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation (judgment) but is passed from death unto life. John 5:24. A great many people think it is presumption for them to say they know they are saved-that they can only "hope for the best, and will have to wait until the judgment before they know." Paul did not say to the jailer: "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and perhaps you will be saved, or you will have a good chance of being saved, or you may hope to be saved." No, but "thou shalt be saved." Acts 16:31. VERILY, verily, I say unto you, he that believeth on me HATH everlasting life. John 6:47. He that believeth on the Son hath (not perhaps will have) everlasting life. John 3:36. HE that hath the Son hath life. I John 5:12.
