One hot summer day Luke and his friends decide to play their favorite game of war, using sticks for guns and pine cones for bombs and grenades. When a new child in the neighborhood hesitates to join in and then tells them he has been in a real war in the country where he used to live, the other children start to see their game in a new light. BPFNA member Kathy Beckwith's story is richly illustrated with Lea Lyon's fluid, expressive watercolors, capturing the action and the emotion of this story, where friendship and kindness prevail.

Written by BPFNA's founding president George Williamson, this Manifesto is a damning indictment of the madness of militarism and corruption of power that so dominate our national agenda today. Stan Hastey of the Alliance of Baptists says, "It amounts to a Christian antidote to the prevailing realpolitik of our time. Williamson is indeed a radical voice raised against the reactionary forces that threaten to engulf and enslave us. Yet this Manifesto is more than a prophetic upbraiding of the powers that be. It is a call to costly discipleship in the increasingly difficult days in which we live and render our witness. These are hard sayings in a hard age to be ignored only at our peril."
