Praise for John Dear's Books

"John Dear has the gift to capture the social gospel as Jesus proclaimed it. I highly recommend this book. He makes the Gospels come alive."
- J. Christoph Arnold, Bruderhof, on Jesus the Rebel

“A deeply moving and profoundly inspiring account of John Dear’s journey of enviable courage, boundless faith, unquestioned hope, and unconditional love.”
- Martin Sheen on Living Peace

"It's a real soul art to be engaged fever pitch in social action and to be a contemplative, too. John Dear, the activist, brings us to the still, dark places where he wrestles demons and waits to be touched by God. We wait with him and are touched, too, by the silence and a quickened desire to live simpler, more generous, more engaged lives."
- Sr Helen Prejean on The Sound of Listening
