Making Peace:
Healing a Violent World

If you’ve ever wondered if peace is possible, this is the book for you. Making Peace: Healing a Violent World, edited by Carolyn McConnell and Sarah Ruth van Gelder. (© 2003) tells stories of:

• practical alternatives to violence, hate, and domination.

• an art to peace that is as sophisticated as the art of war.

• things you can do to bring peace to your family and community.

People from across religious traditions, from war zones, prisons, and divorcing families tell stories of the practical art of peacemaking.
