This review is from: The Journey Toward Reconciliation (Paperback)

A professional mediator and former director of Mennonite Conciliation Service reveals honestly and thoughtfully the heart and guts of the work required for reconciliation. Each chapter weaves stories from personal experience, with scripture and practical advice, into a conclusion. He tells stories that we need to hear. It's an important journal and a helpful guide.

This review is from: The Journey Toward Reconciliation (Paperback)

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 chapters are filled with wise words for anyone who may be dealing with deep seated conflict. 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.
