The author describes the Way of Christ through Nonviolent Communication (NVC). The teachings of Jesus exemplify values of love, mutual respect, responsibility and compassion. This text is a guide showing how NVC facilitates living in integrity with these values.
Many personal stories demonstrate how a Christ follower can use NVC to turn troubled relationships into joy-filled connections. This book is an invitation for the reader to rediscover Christian principles and apply them in everyday communication—to experience the treasures Jesus taught us by transforming our relationships with compassionate connecting, ultimately partaking in the spirit-filled life.

- “'Blessed are the peacemakers,' Jesus said. The work of peacemaking begins with each of us learning to communicate compassionately. Jaime Prieto offers just the kind of practical, down-to-earth guidance we need.”
- Brian D. McLaren, author of The Secret Message of Jesus, A New Kind of Christian, and Everything Must Change
- “What a marvelous combination of very practical wisdom from Scripture, psychology, justice work, personal experience, and even the arts! This is the kind of book that people need today to … get started, to keep going, and to keep going deeper. Thank you for your own compassion, Jaime Prieto!”

- "...the inspired efforts of a Christian helped by NVC who wants to share his experience with the world and help people better their lives... More meditation than guidebook, Prieto’s work is compelling, motivating and useful..."
