Over many decades dedicated followers of ATV started various local, state and regional programs for children, parents, abused people, prisoners, etc. etc. In December, 2013 Kezia Sproat, founder of Highbank Farm Peace Education Center in Chillicothe,Ohio, published her book BEGINNING NONVIOLENCE.
It contains 58 pages in good size print sprinkled with descriptive charts, helpful lists and motivating quotations. Chapter titles reflect basics in that section. All are good but a few of my favorites are:
Turn Anger to Energy
Learn Not to Flinch
Intervene Creatively
Think Fast, Stay Calm
In the Preface and at the End, About the Authors, Kezia Sproat explains how her path crossed John Looney's and how that intersection inspired her work. On page X she says, "We can heal the fear-based interactions that lead to violence. If we know and look for practical alternatives to violence, and honor and celebrate them in everyday life, we too are likely to understand, as John Looney did, that nonviolence is far more efficient than violence in addressing human problems."
