Then I met an Anabaptist family and was instantly drawn to their simple, peaceful and non-political faith. They gave me a copy of this book (maybe they hoped it would quiet some of the questions I was firing at them!) and I could not put it down. The accounts of the various groups of Kingdom Christians, their suffering at the hands of the mainstream church and their conviction and nonresistance through it all had me in tears. This Kingdom as revealed in the teachings of Jesus, the Apostles and the early church fathers opened my eyes to an entirely new vision of Christianity - and it really has turned my world upside down.
