A trusted guide into the inner realm where our spirits find strength to master life and live for God.
It is hard to exaggerate the significance of Innerland, either for Eberhard Arnold or his readers. It absorbed his energies off and on for most of his adult life--from World War I, when he published the first chapter under the title War: A Call to Inwardness, to 1935, the last year of his life.

When troubled consciences find healing, they become a force for good.
The conscience, our inner moral compass, is a sensitive instrument meant to warn us against all that might endanger our life and happiness.

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus puts aside his usual parables and speaks plainly in language anyone can understand. Like Francis of Assisi and others, Arnold chose to live out Jesus' teachings by embracing their self- sacrificing demands. In this collection of talks and essays, he calls us to live for the Sermon's ultimate goal: the overturning of the prevailing order of injustice. In its place, Arnold writes, we must build up a just, peaceable...

Why has God not answered prayers? What should people pray for? If everything that was prayed for came true, would people be ready? In this spiritual classic, Eberhard Arnold mines the riches of biblical teaching on prayer and the example of Jesus, the Hebrew prophets, and the early Christians to point to the prayer that pleases God most: prayer that has the power to transform lives and the world.
