Peace Makers

A Path for Imperfect People Making Peace in an Imperfect World

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Peace Makers is written for imperfect people seeking to make peace in an imperfect world. The book argues that the Christian life is motivated by grace and that personal inner peace is key to social reconciliation. The book looks at three Biblical stories that reveal both paths and roadblocks to being a peacemaker. Peace Makers should be especially helpful for people who are looking for more than just political strategies for social peace but see the need for personal power to be peacemakers. Note that Jesus was a peacemaker without a political strategy. We too often underestimate the powerful impact of a life shaped by grace in one's work, in one's brokenness, and in the willingness to suffer loss in forgiving others.
