"This superb collection of essays by Phil Berrigan, by turns provocative, challenging and inspiring, marks the return of one of the greatest voices for peace, nonviolence and reconciliation of our time.---James Martin, SJ, author of Jesus: A Pilgrimage A Ministry of Risk is an apt title for the compiled writings on peace, war and social justice by my friend, the American peacemaking icon Philip Berrigan. The radical Gospel truth of the Beatitudes flows from these pages because Phil lived every word of them. I hope this powerful book will be read far and wide and inspire a new generation to stand up and take action for peace and disarmament like Phil.---Martin Sheen, actor and activist A Ministry of Risk provides a window into the radical and deeply inspiring journey of Phil Berrigan--a journey, in Phil's own words, of ""good against evil, truth against falsehood, nonviolence against violence, conscience against State, life against death ... the same witness is necessary today."" May it be so! This book should be required reading for all of us who are trying to be Christian.---Marie Dennis, Director, Pax Christi's Catholic Nonviolence Initiative, and author of Choosing Peace: The Catholic Church Returns to Gospel Nonviolence Philip Berrigan's Christian ministry and prophetic witness sparkle in this courageous and visionary book!
