This small book makes a
big impact. It's a collection of prayers, affirmations, quotes, etc.
about peace -- how to be peaceful, how to think about peace and pray for
peace all can be a result of working with this book.
You'll
find some of the best known peace activists here, like Martin Luther
King, Gandhi, Helen Caldicott plus some you may not know like Ed McGaa
and Eagle Man.
Each
page rings with peace... for example:
We
are one, after all, you and I;
together we suffer,
together we exist,
and forever will recreate each other.
Pierre
Teilhard De Chardin
There
never was a good war or a bad peace.
Benjamin
Franklin
The
powerful have always been willing to baptize the status quo and name
it "peace," and the impotent are regularly accused of being
troublemakers when all they seek is justice.
Sam
Keen
Many
are much longer, some even shorter--all are good soul food for thought.
Both
Amazon and Barnes and Noble are showing this book as out of print, but I
found it at my local bookstore displayed up front, so I think it's been
reissued. The ISBN number is: 0-06-250464-9
It's
worth seeking out for yourself and as a gift for others.
