Product Description

Product Description

Tolstoy's 1893 book, subtitled "Christianity Not as a Mystical Teaching but as a New Concept of Life," introduced such vital concepts as non-violent resistance to 20th Century figures as Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King. Although Tolstoy is best known as one of the great Russian novelists, his place as a social reformer and peace advocate cannot be underestimated.

5.0 out of 5 stars From Ghandi to YOU, Jun 4 2002
By Abrams (Schaumburg, IL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Kingdom of God Is within You (Paperback)
This is the book which sparked the spiritual revolution in Ghandi, and helped make him the unbelieveable man he was. Ghandi raved about this book in his autobiography, and I couldn't agree more. This could quite possibly be the best book I have ever read. However, two years ago I wouldn't have gotten all that I have out of it. It came in the perfect time of my spiritual awakening. By the very Truth of you reading what I am saying I would suggest you get this book RIGHT NOW! You are ready to hear what he has to say, and it will make you a better person and thus making our world better. Tolstoy is a remarkable spiritual revolutionist, and he will open your eyes to the works of others that have been suppressed throughout time. Good luck to you and take care out there!

5.0 out of 5 stars Everyone who claims to be a Christian should read this book!, May 30 2002
By James P. Brett "Publius" (Valrico, FL United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Kingdom of God Is within You (Paperback)
Once I started reading this book, I couldn't put it down. Tolstoy argues, very persuasively, that the core teachings of Jesus have been lost to the modern Christian (as of the 1890's, and still true today). His insight into the nature of man is nothing short of brilliant. Man is too comfortable with the way things are to really adopt Jesus approach to life, one of the core underpinnings being non resistance to evil by violence.

Another reviewer said that following Tolstoy's advice, we (the US, I guess) should have never opposed Hitler. We shouldn't have -- Hitler would have been out of power in short order; he was no threat to us. Forgive this brief aside.

Most of what passes for Christianity today is nothing of the sort. A great deal of it is self-serving. Jesus said salvation is personal -- you don't need a "church" to be saved. As Tolstoy explains, church's are largely the invention of men, who crave a hierarchy and order.

This book is a revelation. Christians take note: you may feel rebuked (convicted?) by the words written here.

5.0 out of 5 stars As is Einstein to Physics, Tolstoy is to Peace on Earth, Jan 28 2002
By J. McGinley "brother jay" (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Kingdom of God Is within You (Paperback)
This book created Gandhi and also created Dr. King, by virtue of Dr. King's study and advancement of the work achieved by Gandhi. So, this book created both of history's brilliant, proven, unimaginably effective Generals of Nonviolent combat. What else is there to say about the importance, validity, and value of this book, to the reader, to human kind, and to the future?

3.0 out of 5 stars Tolstoy's Radical Pacifism: Two Cheers.
This is an interesting book, which I bought on the strength of its author's name. It is almost a companion piece to "War and Peace," another pacifism book. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely thought provoking, one of the best books I've read
Reading this book can, hopefully, change how persons think about truth and non-violence. No doubt Gandhi was overwhelmed by it (and tried to practise it). Read more
