Dr. Peter Hart is hearing voices -- not usually a good thing for a psychologist. His wife of twenty-five years has died, and the world is on the brink of nuclear Armageddon. Islamic extremists have already destroyed Washington D.C. with a nuclear bomb. Can Peter find peace -- for himself and the world -- before the destruction of New York, London, and Tel Aviv? Haunted by Einstein's warning that "the unleashed power of the atom has changed everything save our modes of thinking, and we thus drift toward unparalleled catastrophes," and inspired by the voices, Peter's mission becomes clear: to change these "modes of thinking" with ten new commandments. As Islam and the West hurtle toward disaster, author and psychologist Dr. Steve Brody draws from the wisdom of the world's many voices of faith -- as well as proven principles of conflict resolution to reveal ten principles for achieving universal (and personal) peace.

Inspirational and cautionary tale,

This review is from: The New Commandments (Hardcover)
I couldn't put this book down! It is frightening how real the events in this book are...or at least how it could very possibly be in the future. It makes you realize that without understanding each other we create fear and fear creates violence. I think everyone should read this book. The writing is as beautiful as its message of understanding. No one wants another 911.

This review is from: The New Commandments (Hardcover)
The New Commandments is a thriller. A page turner. It stands on its drama, its depiction of the world on the brink of nuclear destruction. My wife and I both finished it in just two sittings.Just as compelling as the drama, the author uses his skill as a psychologist to explain how individuals and societies react when terrorists sacrifice innocent cities, why victims feel helpless and why politicians and generals can't see past retaliation. Dr. Brody ensnares his readers with a third theme, a revelation about faith as an agent to deter zealotry and terrorism. He writes no saccharine prescription about bringing the world together. He writes a workable blueprint, if only we read!

A book on peace,
This review is from: The New Commandments (Hardcover)
This book sends a real message at a time when our country and world are in crisis. It reinforces and readdresses a very old message to all human beings. Although it is in fictional format, I think all of us should consider its content as something we need to apply in our lives through our actions. And hopefully our actions will speak louder than words, resulting in more peace throughout our lands.
