Love Changes Things,
Even in the World of Politics
Can it be true in a world where corporations rule politics and money is concentrated more and more in the hands of a wealthy few? In Caroline's powerful memoir, love changed what seemed impossible to change: the escalating nuclear arms race.
Here is the story of taking love into the halls of Congress, the United Nations, and meetings with Soviet leaders and vice-presidents of both countries, with the goal of ending nuclear test explosions in the Nevada desert. Guided by Spirit and dozens of dreams, Caroline was directed to feel love before every meeting, every letter, and every phone call, and to treat everyone she met with love and respect. The result was one of the most significant political successes of our time. Millions of people helped make it happen, but it was love that made the difference.
This is a story that answers the question, “What can one person do?”

In the spiritual tradition of the world’s greatest social changers, the author takes the uncommon approach of reaching out, listening to, educating, and, yes, even unconditionally loving, those hated or not understood--political leaders, heads of corporations, religious extremists, and everyone else.
