The need for understanding among families, nations, church members and individuals has never been greater. In clear, readable language the author tells stories of his efforts to bring peace between warring factions, which at times resulted in threats against him and his family.

The book could be life changing for families, churches, or other groups who find themselves caught in a toxic situation. The objective is to transform enemies into friends. It is a book that makes for peace.

A faithful account of what it takes to build peace
