With senseless violence occurring throughout society, people are
suffering and communities are groaning. Fear and not knowing where
to begin hold many back from doing anything at all. But is "doing
something" really what is most needed? Marcia Owen and Samuel Wells
come together to tell the story of a community's journey through
four different dimensions of social engagement. After attempts to
seek legislative solutions led nowhere, a religious coalition began
holding prayer vigils for local victims of gun violence. It was
then that Owen discovered the beauty of simply being present.
Through her friendships with both victims and offenders, Owen
learned that being present was precisely the opposite of
violence--it was love. And to truly love others as God loves us
meant living without enemies and taking small steps toward
reconciliation. Owen and Wells offer deep insights into what it
takes to overcome powerlessness, transcend fear and engage in
radical acceptance in our dangerous world. Your view of ministry
will be altered by this poignant tale of coming face-to-face with
our God who loves boundlessly and has no enemies.
