  August 20, 2008 (Chicago) -- How does a "spoiled, wealthy frat boy" go from beer-chugging contests in a Duke University fraternity to peace activism and more than 75 arrests in the name of the nonviolent Jesus?John Dear, SJ, a 2008 Nobel Peace Prize nominee, tells his story in A Persistent Peace: One Man's Struggle for a Nonviolent World. (E-book available at http://loyolapress.org/johndear/John Dear SJ-Persistent Peace.html)
  
  Dear has organized hundreds of demonstrations against war and nuclear weapons.His work has taken him to war zones around the world, including Iraq, where he led a delegation of Nobel Peace Prize winners to witness the effects of sanctions on Iraqi children.It hasn't been an easy life.His activism was generally not supported by his superiors, and he was considered "unmissionable" and "disobedient" by one Jesuit superior.
  
  But for Dear, commitment to nonviolence is an all-or-nothing proposition.A Persistent Peace is the story of his consistent and tireless work for peace, including his arrests and imprisonments, death threats made against him for criticizing the military (including a threat from the father of one of his students at a Jesuit high school, who threatened to shoot him dead in front of his class), and many other amazing stories of social action for peace.
  
  Dear experienced a profound transformation during college that began with the musical and spiritual mentorship of the late jazz pianist Mary Lou Williams, a Catholic Christian artist-in-residence at Duke.
  ...
  Dear was also rocked to the core by biographies of Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr., compelled by their compassion and commitment to nonviolence.

  By John Dear, S.J., illustrated by William Hart McNichols (Orbis, 2006)
  ...
  "Witnesses tell us that God is alive and at work . . . that God's reign of peace and nonviolence is at hand," writes Jesuit peace activist John Dear.
  ...
  While Dear's simply, beautifully written testaments to ancient and contemporary witnesses both teach and inspire, McNichols' moving, sometimes haunting icons offer a colorful window into the lives of exemplary (and, interestingly enough, often iconoclastic) individuals.
