9780446530767: No Jesus, No Peace -- Know Jesus, Know Peace: Timeless Wisdom for Living a Life That Matters

Synopsis

No caring, no peace. Know caring, know peace ... Never before has Jesus' wisdom felt so relevant, insightful, and applicable as in this surprising volume. Offered here are twenty-two nuggets of wisdom that will move you, guide you, and nourish your daily life. Intended as an indispensable manual, this book will help point you to true north and inner peace. Its authors, who call themselves simply "two seekers," mastered their problems only after absorbing the lessons contained in these pages. By combining pithy insight with practical how-to examples, they demonstrate -- even to committed skeptics -- why saying "no" to Jesus' teachings could be saying "no" to the kind of self-knowledge that enables one to change not only his or her own life but those of others.

Reviews

An attempt to bring depth to the popular bumper-sticker slogan referenced in the title, this book may not meet reader expectations. The anonymous authors present simple lessons loosely based on Jesus's teachings in one to two page chapters (No Spirituality, No Peace-Know Spirituality, Know Peace, etc.), but they spend less time focusing on "knowing" Jesus than on ruminating about morals and making broad suggestions for how to better the ailing world ("Let's not complain about the world's lack of fairness. Let's be fair and create peace and harmony"). Jesus here seems less like a guiding force and more like an afterthought: most references to him appear in Bible verse epigrams at the beginning of each chapter, and the principles are feebly backed up with stories often not related to him at all. Reminders to treat family members with love, give to the needy, have faith when in despair and live humbly are well meant, but they could have been presented in a more engaging and meaningful way.
