When a US Air Force drone drops a bomb on a wedding party in Yemen, for example, few of us have the language to talk about that violence. When our military invades a territory or when we fight proxy wars through other countries, our response to military violence tends to follow our political beliefs rather than our religious convictions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur allegiance to military might goes beyond ongoing global conflicts. The United States boasts a bloated military budget, which includes displays of patriotism at sporting events and military recruitment directed at children in public schools. As nationalism and warfare trend around the globe, people seeking peace are compelled to question the mania for militarism and violence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eGrace over Guns\u003c\/i\u003e challenges readers to think through common justifications for military violence and to consider how those justifications might not measure up to the teachings of Jesus. Drawing on story and Scripture, pastor Ben Daniel offers a prophetic call to reject the sin of military violence and embrace the grace of Christian pacifism. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Herald Press (VA)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/16\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781513816975\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/13\/2026\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Ben Daniel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52452334534837,"sku":"9781513816975","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_ad54aba4-8978-4566-b20b-daee08c619aa.jpg?v=1776826797","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/grace-over-guns-pursuing-peace-in-a-militarized-world-9781513816975","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
