LEO TOLSTOY was a Russian writer whom many consider to be the world's greatest novelist. His masterpieces WAR AND PEACE and ANNA KARENINA represent, in their scope, breadth and vivid depiction of life and attitudes, the peak of realist fiction. THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS WITHIN YOU is the nonfiction masterpiece of Leo Tolstoy. It is the culmination of thirty years, and lays out a new organization for society based on the Bible's teachings. In the book Tolstoy speaks of the principle of non-violent resistance when confronted by violence, as taught by Jesus. Tolstoy sought what he believed was the true message of Jesus Christ, as contained in the Gospels. Mahatma Gandhi wrote in his autobiography that this book "overwhelmed" him and "left an abiding impression." Gandhi listed Tolstoy's book as one of the most important modern influences in his life. Reading this book directly inspired his fight for social justice. Martin Luther King, too, was deeply influenced by this book.

Personally encouraging, it is also a criticism of the Russian Orthodox Church of Tolstoy's time. So, it is psychology but also history. The myth of modernity is exposed by the red meat thinking of an excellent thinker. That for about a thousand years, the Church was the only game in town meant that for that same amount of time the best minds were working on it. Before medicine came in pill form the quality of your interior was held in higher esteem.
