30th Anniversary Edition of Christian Pacifism Launched

Originally published by Friends United Press, copyright 1981, Christian Pacifism: Fruit of the Narrow Way, by Michael [C] Snow [ESR, ‘81], is now in an “ebook” edition.

In the new Preface, the author writes, “May we all continue to seek first His Kingdom... I pray that this new release…will be a help to pilgrims on that path.”

As of October 3rd, it is available through Amazon and Barnes and Noble for the Nook or Kindle ebook readers. But these devices are not required. Free “Reading Apps” are available for PCs for these ebooks.

The original book finally came off the press in January of 1982. It was featured as the selection of the month for the Quaker Book Club in March. The cover art, by graphic artist Susanna Combs, was also featured in a poster and on the cover of Quaker Life for the July-August issue of that year.

In the review in The Friend (UK), Eva Pinthus wrote, “There are few Friends, and even fewer books, that can help evangelical Christians to become convinced of the truth of the Friends’ peace testimony…. Thus we welcome Michael Snow’s rather brief but challenging book.”

Though the original book is out-of-print, it has remained readily available through online used book vendors. And a WorldCat library search via the internet shows that it is still available at over 50, mostly university and seminary libraries.

Had a good review comment on the book at Amazon from someone outside of the Anabaptis/Quaker tradition.

'I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to understand Christian pacifism.The author's use of both the Old and New Testament, really helps clarify how God views war and the shedding of blood.The experience the author had in the military, and his God given insight, makes this book an easy and enjoyable read.If Christianity could grasp the truths in this book, the world would be a better place."
