Lightning East to West

The book explores the critical choice facing humanity between nuclear destruction and a transformative, nonviolent kingdom. Jim Douglass emphasizes the urgency of this decision, comparing the potential outcomes to contrasting forms of lightning—devastating fire versus enlightening spirit. By reflecting on the teachings of figures like Jesus and Gandhi, the author advocates for a path of hope and transformation through nonviolence, urging readers to embrace a future rooted in peace rather than despair.
