Good question, Mary. Besides suggesting Michael Nagler’s “Search for a Nonviolent Future” and other resources at Metta (such as Nonviolence for Daily Living–and please send us ideas for this page when you feel inspired–see left hand bar), a good resource that brings both food for the soul and learning about nonviolence in one package is Eknath Easwaran’s “Gandhi the Man.” There’s a great afterward by Timothy Flinders on Satyagraha, and the book, while it was written for high school age young people, is full of images and quotes, and a deep understanding of Gandhi as a person like any one of us… I’m not sure how obscure this is, though.
Warmly, Stephanie
